Well-being Self-Assessment Tool

The document describes the WHO-5 Well-being Index, a short, 5-item questionnaire used to assess an individual's mental well-being over the last two weeks. Respondents rate 5 statements regarding their mood and daily life on a 6-point scale. Scores are totaled and can range from 0-25, with higher scores indicating better well-being. The raw score is then multiplied by 4 to convert it to a percentage score from 0-100 for ease of interpretation, with 100 representing best possible quality of life. The WHO-5 was developed by the World Health Organization to be used as a screening tool for depression in primary care settings.
