About the Gallup-Healthways

Well-Being Index Methodology:The research and methodology underlying the

Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index and the State and

Congressional District Well-Being Reports are based on

the World Health Organization denition o health, whichis, not only the absence o inrmity and disease but

also a state o physical, mental and social well-being.

To compile the Well-Being Index, Gallup obtains

completed interviews rom 1,000 U.S. adults nationally,

seven days a week, excluding only major holidays.

Based on their response, individuals and communities

receive an overall well-being composite score and

score o each o six sub-indices including lie evaluation,

emotional health, physical health, healthy behavior,work environment and basic access.

Changes in condition can be tracked over time, and

the introduction o both controlled and uncontrolled

variable considered. Discrete populations can also be

ranked one against another or a stratied view o their

relative well-being.

About the State, Congressional District & City Reports

Survey Methods:

The survey methods or Gallup-Healthways Well-BeingIndex relies on live (not automated) interviewers,

dual-rame random-digit-dial (RDD) sampling (which

includes landlines as well as wireless phone sampling

to reach those in wireless-only households), and a

random selection method or choosing respondents

within a household. Additionally, daily tracking includes

Spanish-language interviews or respondents who

speak only Spanish, includes interviews in Alaska and

Hawaii. The data are weighted daily to compensate

or disproportional ties in selection probabilities and

non-response. The data are weighted to match targets

rom the U.S. Census Bureau by age, sex, region, gender,

education, ethnicity and race.

The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index Composite

Score is comprised o six sub-indices: Lie Evaluation,

Emotional Health, Physical Health, Healthy Behavior,

Work Environment and Basic Access. The Lie Evaluation

Sub-Index is partially based on the Cantril Sel-Anchoring

Striving Scale and combines the evaluation o ones

present lie situation with ones anticipated lie situation

ve years rom now. The Emotional Health Sub-Index is

primarily a composite o respondents daily experiences,

asking respondents to think about how they elt

yesterday along nine dimensions. The Physical Health

Sub-Index is comprised o questions related to: Body

Mass Index, disease burden, sick days, physical pain, daily

energy, history o disease and daily health experiences.

The Healthy Behavior Sub-Index includes itemsmeasuring lie style habits with established relationships

to health outcomes. The Work Environment Sub-Index

surveys workers on several actors to gauge their eelings

and perceptions about their work environment. The Basic

Access Sub-Index is based on thirteen items measuring

residents access to ood, shelter, healthcare and a sae

and satisying place to live.
