Perceived stress across population segments characterized by differing stressor profiles—A latent class analysis
Latent class analysis allowed us to identify seven population segments with various stressor combinations. Six of the segments had elevated perceived stress levels but differed in terms of socioeconomic composition and stressor combinations. These insights may inform a strategy aimed at improving mental health in the general population by targeting efforts to particular population segments, notably segments experiencing challenging life situations.
