Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The LEDS allows for the evaluation of life events in the context of a person's unique life circumstances, which is an advantage over other life stress assessments that may not take into account individual differences and contexts. The LEDS is also a structured interview, but this is not necessarily a unique advantage over other assessments. The length of time to complete the LEDS may vary depending on the individual being assessed and their response style, so it is not necessarily a shorter assessment. The LEDS does rely on determining when an event actually occurred, so option D is incorrect.
