    Author(s): Philip Hyland*, Enya Redican, Thanos Karatzias and Mark Shevlin

    Background: The International Anxiety Questionnaire (IAQ) and International Depression Questionnaire (IDQ) have been developed as self-report measures of ICD-11 Generalized Anxiety Disorder (ICD-11 GAD) and ICD-11 Single Episode Depressive Disorder (ICD-11 DD).

Objective: Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to test the combined dimensionality and measurement invariance of the IAQ and IDQ across the UK (n=1,012) and Irish (n=1,011) samples. Differential item functioning was tested using Multiple Indicator Multiple Cause (MIMIC) modelling based on country, age, and sex while convergent validity was assessed using bivariate correlations.
