The rising burden of mental and behavioral disorders has become a global challenge (Murray et al., 2012). Measurement invariant clinical instruments are necessary for the assessment of relevant symptoms across countries. The present study tested the measurement invariance of the 21-item version of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS; Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995b) in Poland, Russia, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States of America (US). Telephone interviews were conducted with population-based samples (n PL= 1003, n RU= 3020, n UK= 1002, n US= 1002). The DASS-21 shows threshold measurement invariance. Comparisons of latent means did not indicate differences between UK and US samples. However, Polish and Russian samples reported more depressive symptoms compared with UK and US samples; the Russian sample had the highest levels of anxiety symptoms and the Polish sample demonstrated the highest stress levels. The DASS-21 can be recommended to meaningfully compare the relationships between variables across groups and to compare latent means in Polish-, Russian-, and English-speaking populations.
