The aim of this study was to systematically review the psychometric properties of the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). Studies measuring psychometric properties of the DASS-21 were searched through Embase, PsycINFO, and PubMed. A total of 59 studies including 73890 subjects were reviewed in this study. The results suggest that the DASS-21 is a reliable and valid measure for assessing depression, anxiety, and stress in many countries of the world, demonstrates cross-cultural invariance, universality in the clinical setting, and functionality under different technical conditions of psychological assessment.
