Study Purpose View help for Study Purpose
The study was intended to measure the experiences of Americans as far as dealing with everyday stress, and measuring the prevalence of stress in the general adult population.
Study Design View help for Study Design
The study utilized an overlapping landline/cell phone frame RDD design, with phone numbers randomly generated by Marketing Systems Group's (MSG) GENESYS sampling system.
The questionnaire was developed by HORP researchers in consultation with the SSRS project team. The questionnaire was also translated into Spanish, with a total of 46 interviews completed in Spanish.
Sample View help for Sample
The sample includes 2,505 national adults, age 18 or older across the 50 United States and the District of Columbia.

HideWeight View help for Weight
The study dataset contains weight factors that should be employed in any data analysis. Typically weights are used in an attempt to assure that the survey sample more accurately represents the population. The weight variable in this study is WEIGHT.
The survey data were weighted to adjust for the fact that not all survey respondents were selected with the same probabilities, and account for systematic nonresponse along known population parameters. Weighting involved several stages: 1) adjustment for the likelihood of selection (base-weight), 2) non-response correction by stress-level, 3) post-stratification weighting using Iterative Proportional Fitting (or "raking"), and 4) adjustment to control variance among weights ("trimming").
