Let H_q(S_n) be the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of the symmetric group. This algebra is semisimple over the rational function field Q(q), where q is an indeterminate, and its irreducible representations over this field are q-analogues S_q(lambda) of the Specht modules of the symmetric group. The q-Specht modules have an "integral form" which is defined over the Laurent polynomial ring Z_[q,q^{-1}] and they come equipped with a natural bilinear form with values in this ring. Now Z[q,q^{-1}] is not a principal ideal domain. Nonetheless, we try to compute the elementary divisors of the Gram matrix of the bilinear form on S_q(lambda). When they are defined, we give a precise relationship between the elementary divisors of the Specht modules S_q(lambda) and S_q(lambda'), where lambda' is the conjugate partition. We also compute the elementary divisors when lambda is a hook partition and give examples to show that in general elementary divisors do not exist.
