Enhanced life distress inventory: Development and validation in two African countries.

CONCLUSION: A major contribution of the ELDI is its development in and for LMIC settings and its ability to assess different areas (life domains) of distress. This multi-sectoral lens gives the scale the potential to examine not only programmes targeting stress, but also those targeting sources of stress, and to examine whether they improve stress and mental health via those pathways. More testing of the ELDI's performance and psychometric properties is needed in additional settings.
