Welcome

Welcome to COPSOQ!

COPSOQ - a multifaceted and multilingual tool for recording mental stress

It should be possible to record mental stress for all employees - regardless of their language skills. The COPSOQ questionnaire is used internationally and has already been scientifically tested by over 20 national teams (see Validation studies). We offer our current version, COPSOQ III, in over 25 languages, derived from validation studies or created by certified translators.

Please contact us if you would like to conduct a multilingual survey.
If the language you require is not included, we will organise a translation.

We look forward to hearing from you.

The COPSOQ instrument is presented below. The questionnaire can be completed here as a trial:
