The Well-Being Index composite result is an average of six domains: life evaluation, emotional health, physical health, healthy behaviors, work environment and basic access. Among states, overall Well-Being Index results ranged from a high of 71.1 (Hawaii) to a low of 61.3 (West Virginia). The 2012 national average for Well-Being was 66.7, Life Evaluation 49.5, Emotional Health 79.4, Physical Health 77.0, Health Behaviors 64.5 , Work Environment 47.8 and Basic Access 82.3.
Position Scale: For detailed descriptions of the domains, visit the methodology section of www.well-beingindex.com.
Each state is positioned from 1-50, based on composite scores as compared to all States; Each Congressional District is positioned from 1-436, based on composite scores as compared to all Congressional Districts; Each City (Metropolitan Statistical Area) is positioned from 1-189, based on composite scores as compared to all cities.
"The survey methods for Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index relies on live (not automated) interviewers, dual-frame telephone sampling (which includes listed landlines as well as random digit dial (RDD) wireless phone sampling to reach those in wireless-only households), and a random selection method for choosing respondents within a landline household. Additionally, daily tracking includes Spanish-language interviews for respondents who speak only Spanish, and includes interviews in Alaska and Hawaii. The data are weighted daily to compensate for disproportionalities in selection probabilities and non-response. The data are weighted to match targets from the U.S. Census Bureau by age, sex, region, gender, education, ethnicity and race. The data are weighted to match the Center for Disease Control’s National Health Interview Survey targets for telephone status." "The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index Composite Score is comprised of six sub-indices: Life Evaluation, Emotional Health, Physical Health, Healthy Behavior, Work Environment and Basic Access. The Life Evaluation Sub-Index is partially based on the Cantril Self-Anchoring Striving Scale and combines the evaluation of one’s present life situation with one’s anticipated life situation five years from now. The Emotional Health Sub-Index is primarily a composite of respondents’ daily experiences, asking respondents to think about how they felt yesterday along nine dimensions. The Physical Health Sub-Index is comprised of questions related to: Body Mass Index, disease burden, sick days, physical pain, daily energy, history of disease and daily health experiences. The Healthy Behavior Sub-Index includes items measuring life style habits with established relationships to health outcomes. The Work Environment Sub-Index surveys workers on several factors to gauge their feelings and perceptions about their work environment. The Basic Access Sub-Index is based on thirteen items measuring resident’s access to food, shelter, healthcare and a safe and satisfying place to live."
