Description: Monitor ongoing life stressors and social resources in individuals ages 12-18 years (LISRES-Y) and 18 years and older (LISRES-A) A structured interview, the LISRES provides a unified framework to measure ongoing life stressors and social resources and their changes over time. It can be used to describe a person’s life context, to monitor stability and changes, to compare individuals and groups, and to examine how life events affect an individual’s situation and functioning. -The LISRES-A is for adults ages 18 years and older; it may be used with healthy adults or with psychiatric, substance abuse, or medical patients. It covers eight major areas of life experience: physical health, spouse/partner, finances, work, home/neighborhood, children, friends and social activities, and extended family. -Ideal for use with clients whose reading and comprehension skills are below a 6th-grade level. -Can be administered and scored by those with no formal training in clinical or counseling psychology. -LISRES-A norms are based on a sample of 1,884 adults. Internal consistency reliabilities range from .77 to .93 for the Stressor scales and from .50 to .92 for the Social Resources scales.
