(From the DASS Website)
- If there is only one missing item, one can average over the remaining items for the scale in question. Too many missing items (>2 missing items per 14-item scale) may compromise the validity of the DASS and the subject should be omitted
- To educate users on depression, anxiety and stress, consider listing key symptoms and pointing out that everyone occasionally experiences some degree of each scale, but they should ask for help if they feel them strongly or frequently. If taking a test on a computer, do not provide automated interpretation/calculation to users
- It is unlikely that the factor structure will vary between groups; therefore norms are irrelevant for special populations. Instead, focus on whether the group in question is capable of understanding items and responding in an unbiased way
- Beware of exaggerations and disguising of symptoms- no lie scale built into the DASS; consider a different measure if this is suspected in order to counteract this type of bias
- Patient must be able to speak, understand, and read the language of the test. Also, must be able to write and fill out the measure

- Patient should be cleared of vascular and orthopedic contraindications (i.e. vertebral artery integrity and cervical stability) and demonstrate full, pain-free active range of motion in the plane of testing.
- Passive DVA in which head impulses are administered by an examiner which are unpredictable in timing and direction, isolates peripheral vestibular contributions to gaze stability (independent of centrally mediated efference copy signals). Passive DVA should be characterized separately from active DVA to optimally characterize the head movement conditions in which a patient demonstrates deficient gaze stability.
- Use of ETDRS optotypes appear superior to HOTV or Lea optotypes per NIH Toolkit guidelines. ETDRS eye charts are readily available and widely accepted used for visual acuity testing. See below site for graphic: http://www.precision-vision.com/index.cfm/category/34/etdrs-charts.cfm
