The Stress Profile quickly identifies individual characteristics and behaviours that protect against or contribute to stress-related illness. In just 20 minutes, the Stress Profile measures all personal traits and lifestyle habits that have been shown to moderate the stress-illness relationship. It is ideal for both clinical and organisational use for behavioural health or executive coaching programmes.

This convenient self-report inventory provides scores in 15 areas related to stress and health risk:

• Stress

• Health habits
• Coping Style
  • Exercise
  • Positive appraisal

The Stress Profile is particularly useful to clinicians who must evaluate people with physical and psychosomatic complaints. It also makes an excellent health risk appraisal tool within organisational settings (as part of wellness, stress management, and health promotion programmes). Because it is quick and easy to administer, the Stress Profile is ideal for routine use in organisations, outpatient clinics, hospitals, and medical practices.
