Validation and psychometric properties of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale for Youth in Chinese adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Depression and anxiety are the most common mental health problems among adolescents. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scales for Youth (DASS-Y) is a newly developed instrument designed to assess these problems in adolescents.

Aim

The present study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the DASS-Y among Chinese adolescents.

Methods

A total of 326 secondary school students aged 14-18 years participated in the study. A convenience sampling method was adopted to conduct a test-retest of the DASS-Y among Chinese secondary school students. McDonald's omega, Cronbach's alpha, and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) along with their 95% CI were used to assess the internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the DASS-Y.
