Our study has preliminary character and could serve as an initial assessment of the structure of the MHC-SF across different cultural settings. Further studies on general populations are required for extending our findings.enPsychologyMeasurement invarianceConfirmatory factor analysisMental healthStructural equation modelingClinical psychologySocial psychologyScale (ratio)Metric (unit)Developmental psychologyThe mental health continuum‐short form: The structure and application for cross‐cultural studies–A 38 nation studyarticle
