title: Are UK doctors particularly stressed?
abstract: Doctors are thought to have higher levels of stress than the general population. However, in a survey of a nationally representative sample of UK doctors, we found that stress levels were equivalent to those in the general population; previous findings may have been biased by inappropriate use of the general health questionnaire.
