Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS)

The Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) is a tool used to measure stress by assigning points to various life events, such as getting married, losing a job, or moving. Each event has a different score based on how much stress it typically causes. By adding up these scores, the SRRS helps estimate an individual's overall stress level, indicating their potential risk for health issues related to stress. It’s a way to understand how major life changes might impact well-being.
