• Validation of the Stressful Life Events Schedule indicates it is a reliable assessment tool for measuring stressors.
• In high-risk populations, the SLES provides valuable insights into the relationship between stress and psychosis.
• Assessment utilized a comparative approach between first-episode psychosis and control groups to determine efficacy.
• Results support the need for culturally adapted assessment tools in mental health contexts, highlighting potential for broader application.
