LiSST User Guide

The Life Skills Survey Tool (LiSST) was created in conjunction with IYF’s life skills framework in 2019 in order to reflect the life skills identified in new framework and provide a more valid and reliable tool for measuring life skills. The tool is a survey designed to measure change in life skills over time. It is aligned to the new life skills framework with 3-5 survey items corresponding to each life skill for a total of 49 survey items intended to measure behaviors and attitudes related to life skills. The items are measured with a five-point response scale from ‘Almost never’ to ‘Almost all the time’ and organized by domain.
