DASS (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale): The survey included the 21 question version of the DASS (Lovibond and Lovibond, 2004). The purpose of the questions is to “assess the severity of the core symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress” (Gomez, n.d.). Each question measured the prevalence of symptoms of depression, anxiety, or stress over the prior week. Answers were reported on a four point Likert scale (0–3). A score of 0 indicated that the item “did not apply to them,” and a score of 3 meant that the participant considered the question to apply “very much, or most of the time” (Gomez, n.d.). The DASS 21 is not intended to diagnose disorders relating to depression, anxiety, or stress.
