“…The objective of this study was to explore the psychometric properties of the Cuban version of Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS). Our results confirm a stable unidimensional structure of the Cuban version of the CAS, supporting the results reported in the United States (Lee, 2020;, Mexico (Mora-Magaña et al, 2020), Turkey (Evren et al, 2020), Bangladesh (Ahmed et al, 2020), and South Korea (Choi et al, 2020).…”

“…In response to this need, the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) was designed with the aim of evaluating the dysfunctional experience of anxiety related to COVID-19 (Lee, 2020). This scale has demonstrated strong psychometric properties and has been used, as far as we know, in countries such as the United States (Lee, 2020;, Turkey (Evren et al, 2020), Bangladesh (Ahmed et al, 2020), Mexico (Mora-Magaña et al, 2020), Pakistan (Ashraf et al, 2020), Peru (Franco-Jimenez, 2020), and South Korea (Choi et al, 2020).…”

Efforts and focus regarding the COVID-19 pandemic have largely been centered around physical health. However, mental health is equally as critical-as such, psychological impacts can resonate adversely during and following the pandemic. This study examined a sample of 729 Bangladeshi people and aimed to assess the psychological impact of the pandemic. Through this replication analysis, the results supported the validation and reliability of the COVID-19 Worry Scale on a Bangladeshi population. The validation of another COVID-19 mental health measure can help determine who is mentally affected by the pandemic and the extent of COVID-19's psychological impact.
