Measuring Safety: The Lifetime Sense of Safety Scale in Kenyan Adults
The LSS scale is a psychometrically sound measure of "perceived safety", with 2 latent factors reflecting childhood and adulthood safety. Perceived safety is negatively associated with stress and positively correlated with resiliency, which supports use of the LSS scale in investigations of the lifetime "protectome" on late-life brain health.
