Scoring & interpretation
Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 'never' to 'very often'. There are 9 subscales corresponding to different domains of chronic stress. The scores of each subscale can be added up to obtain an overall score, or analyzed separately to identify specific sources of chronic stress.
