 The List of Threatening Experiences (LTE) is an instrument developed by Traolach Brugha and measures the occurrence of 12 major categories of stressful life events((Brugha TS, Cragg D (1990).

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica 82, 77–81)) via self-report ([[sections|section]]:​ [[mental health]]). The 12 major categories of stressful life events were selected for their established long-term consequences.\\ The List of Threatening Experiences (LTE) is an instrument developed by Traolach Brugha and measures the occurrence of 12 major categories of stressful life events((Brugha TS, Cragg D (1990).
