The CSS-36 was developed to assess COVID-19-related stress symptoms. It consists of 36 items; from item 1 to 24 each item has five answer options (0 = by no means to 4 = extremely) and from item 25 to 36 it has five answer options (0 = never to 4 Almost always). These items are related to symptoms presented in the last 7 days and grouped into five factors: (1) fears of danger and contamination, (2) fears about socioeconomic consequences, (3) xenophobia, (4) compulsive checking and search for reassurance, and (5) symptoms of traumatic stress related to COVID-19 (Taylor et al., 2020e).
