Stress Management

The Stress Management program assists adults in effectively managing stress in healthy ways, including: exercising, seeking social support, using pleasant activities and relaxation techniques.

About 78% of Americans report having at least one symptom of stress. Towers Watson reported that employers must identify stress-reduction solutions that work for their organizations or suffer the business consequences of less productive employees (low engagement and high absenteeism).

Our Stress program has been recognized by SAMHSA and AHRQ Health Care Innovation Exchange for its quality of underlying research and readiness for dissemination.

The Stress Management program, available in English and Spanish, is a self-administered program that includes:

• Online computer tailored intervention (CTI) with questions and feedback tailored to each individual’s needs
• Dynamic web activities matched to the individual’s readiness to change (e.g. a quiz to understand stress, an assessment of the causes of stress in the individual’s life and the symptoms of stress; stress management techniques from relaxation to time management; ways to get support and plan for situations that can cause stress)
• Tailored text messaging

Effectiveness

In an effectiveness trial, a national sample of adults was given Pro-Change’s Stress Management intervention.

• At the 18-month follow-up, a significantly larger proportion of the treatment group (62%) was effectively managing their stress when compared to the control group.
• The intervention also produced significant reductions in stress and depression and an increase in the use of stress management techniques when compared to the control group.¹

In two replication trials, 74% and 65% were effectively managing their stress at 6-month follow-up.^{2, 3}

Development of this program was supported by Small Business Innovation Research Grant R44 CA81948 from the National Cancer Institute. In the effectiveness trial, a national sample of adults was given Pro-Change’s Stress Management intervention.
