MethodologyThe research and methodology underlying the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index and the Community, State and Congressional District Well-Being Reports are based on the World Health Organization de"nition of health, which is, “...not only the absence of in"rmity and disease but also a state of physical, mental and social well-being.”

To compile the data in the 2012 Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index reports, Gallup completed telephone interviews with 1,000 U.S. adults, seven days a week, excluding only major holidays. Based on their responses, individuals and communities receive an overall well-being composite score and a score for each of six sub-indices including life evaluation, emotional health, physical health, healthy behavior, work environment and basic access.

The Life Evaluation 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 !ve years from now. The Emotional Health Index is primarily a composite of respondents’ daily experiences, asking respondents to think about how they felt yesterday along nine dimensions. The Physical Health 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 Index includes items measuring life style habits with established relationships to health outcomes. The Work Environment Index surveys workers on several factors to gauge their feelings and perceptions about their work environment. The Basic Access Index is based on thirteen items measuring resident’s access to food, shelter, healthcare and a safe and satisfying place to live.

For detailed descriptions of the domains, visit the methodology section of www.well-beingindex.com.
