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-Y is for youths ages 12-18 years; it may be used with healthy teenagers, those with conduct disorders, or adolescent medical and psychiatric patients. Eight major areas of life experiences are addressed: physical health, school, home and money, parents, siblings, extended family, boyfriend/girlfriend, and friends and social activities. -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-Y norms are based on a sample of 400 youth. Internal consistency reliabilities range from .66 to .92 for Stressor scales and from .78 to .93 for Social Resources scales.
