    College Stress Scale

    Uploaded by

    vinn sam phang
    The Student Stress Scale is an adaptation of the Holmes-Rahe Life Events Scale that provides an indication of stress levels for college students. It assigns a score to various life events based on the amount of adjustment required, with higher scores indicating more stress. To determine a stress score, students add up the points for events experienced in the last 12 months. Scores over 300 indicate high risk of health problems, 150-300 indicate a 50% chance of health issues within 2 years, and under 150 a one in three chance.
