Stress in America

Since 2007, the American Psychological Association has been commissioning an annual nationwide survey as part of its Mind/Body Health campaign to examine the state of stress across the country and understand its impact. The 2011 report, Stress in America: Our Health At Risk, focuses on ways in which stress affects individuals differently based on gender, geographic region and age, as well as, its impact on caregivers and persons with chronic illness.
