A high score on the SRRS means that Jasmine has experienced high levels of stress. However, if she is good at coping with stressors, she should be able to manage the stress without it negatively affecting her health. Age, health status, and recent illness do not necessarily impact the level of stress someone may experience or their ability to cope with it.
