Overcoming stress is possible when one knows which aspects of life are the most troublesome to manage for individuals. There are certain tools available in Pakistan that can measures stress in selected populations but there are no validated tools that may quantify stress which results from events occurring in different aspects of life.

Recent Life Changes Questionnaire (RLCQ) is a tool that measures stress of individuals through life changing events. It has five categories; work, home and family, health, personal and social and financial. The objective of the study is to adapt RLCQ and validate it so that it may measure stress among people living in Karachi, Pakistan.
