Summit to create a Life Quality vs Stress Index

We are gathering in a summit to discuss how we can create a life quality index in relation to stress & trauma that can be used in different cultural settings to define and measure results of interventions.

If you would like to join and are sure you have the time please sign your interest here. It will be possible to participate by zoom link as well as live.

BACKGROUND

Life quality and life satisfaction is difficult to measure. The UN and WHO use a seven point survey looking among other issues at longevity, income levels and perceived safety. This way of measuring rules out a lot of countries with low incomes shorter life span averages where perceived life quality can be higher than that of countries like Finland or Sweden where these factors are high but also there is an increasing mental ill health of stress and emotional burnout.

A STRESS & TRAUMA PERSPECTIVE

What we notice is that when people are stressed or traumatised they have a hard time to perceive quality of life regardless of social, economical or educational circumstances. Access to water can be a factor of stress, food in some countries public safety, storms or cultural pressures can be other stressors.

WHO YOU ARE

You may be involved in public health, research, statistics, complementary therapies or you are a single parent, normal household representative or anything else. We know from experience that any issue about people includes all people.

There are no costs involved.

Results will be published and shared.

A paper will be written.
