WHO (Five) Well-being Index

WHO (Five) Well-being Index

The WHO (Five) Well-being Index is a short, self-administered questionnaire covering five positively worded items, related to positive mood (good spirits, relaxation), vitality (being active and waking up fresh and rested), and general interests (being interested in things). It has been shown to be a reliable measure of emotional functioning and a good screener for depression. Administering the WHO (Five) Well-being Index takes 2-3 minutes and can be integrated in clinical routine, both in primary and secondary care. WHO (Five) Well-being Index
