Financial stress was also measured during the first study visit using the 5-item Financial Stress Index [18], which assesses the frequency of financial stressors in the last three months (e.g., difficulty paying bills, fears of losing home/job). Items are Likert scaled from 0 (never) to 5 (always) and summed (range: 0 to 25) with higher scores indicating more financial stress.

Correct

Financial stress was also measured during the first study visit using the 6-item Financial Stress Index [18], [38], which assesses the frequency of financial stressors in the last three months (e.g., difficulty paying bills, fears of losing home/job). Items are Likert scaled from 0 (never) to 4 (always) and summed (range: 0 to 24) with higher scores indicating more financial stress.
