Please indicate for each of the five statements which is closest to how you have been feeling over the last two weeks. Notice that higher numbers mean better well-being. Example. If you have felt cheerful and in good spirits more than half of the time during the last two weeks, select number three. 1. I have felt cheerful and in good spirits 5 4 3 2 1 0 2. I have felt calm and relaxed 5 4 3 2 1 0 3. I have felt active and vigorous 5 4 3 2 1 0 4. I woke up feeling fresh and rested 5 4 3 2 1 0 5. My daily life has been filled with things that interest me 5 4 3 2 1 0 The raw score is calculated by totalling the scores on each of the five questions. The raw score ranges from zero to 25, zero representing worst possible mental well-being and 25 representing best possible mental well-being. To get a percentage score ranging from zero to 100, the raw score is multiplied by four. A percentage score below 50 (or a raw score below 13) has been suggested as a cut-off for poor mental well-being and as an indication for further assessment for the possible presence of a mental health condition (e.g., depressive disorder). © World Health Organization 2024.
