This validation of a Bangla CAS scale would be helpful for mental health practitioners to assess pandemic anxiety among the Bangladeshi people. Thus, the present study aims to translate the CAS into the Bangla language so that its adaption can be used for the assessment of dysfunctional anxiety, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, for Bangladeshi people. As internal consistency reliabilities and composite reliability of the CAS Bangla version were higher than 0.80, this scale is suitable for screening COVID-19 anxiety among Bangladeshi people. Altogether, our findings support the CAS Bangla version as a valid tool that exhibits appropriate psychometric properties in assessing dysfunctional coronavirus anxiety among the people of Bangladesh.	./cache/cord-335066-4xoo279v.txt	./txt/cord-335066-4xoo279v.txt
