| - | In the Lifelines questionnaires two stress exposure questionnaires are administered: (1) the [[stress_ldi|Long-term Difficulties Inventory (LDI)]], which measures long-term difficulties and focusses more on potential sources of chronic stress and how much the participant was affected by this type of stress; and (2) the [[stress_lte|List of Threatening Experiences (LTE)]] which meaures more acute stressful life events and asks whether participants experienced such an event in the past year.\\ | + | In the Lifelines questionnaires two stress exposure questionnaires are administered: (1) the [[stress_ldi|Long-term Difficulties Inventory (LDI)]], which measures long-term difficulties and focusses more on potential sources of chronic stress and how much the participant was affected by this type of stress; and (2) the [[stress_lte|List of Threatening Experiences (LTE)]] which measures more acute stressful life events and asks whether participants experienced such an event in the past year.\\ |

| - | Finally, participants with suspiciosly high scores have been flagged. In other words, participants with 'very much' for each LDI item or 'yes' on each LTI item received such indication. Note that these subjects should not necessarily be excluded: these are very few cases suggesting they might actually represent the unfortunate few who went through all of these events in the past year.\\ | + | Finally, participants with suspiciously high scores have been flagged.
