 ===== Background ===== ===== Background =====
-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.
