Validation of the 10-Item Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Patients

This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the DASS-10 in 354 treatment-seeking adults with mild TBI, finding good fit to the Rasch model with high internal consistency and acceptable unidimensionality. Results support the DASS-10 as a reliable, brief screening tool for psychological distress in post-mild TBI outpatient populations.
