WHO (Five) Well-Being Index (1998 version)
Scoring:
The raw score is calculated by totalling the figures of the five answers. The raw score ranges from 0 to 25, 0 representing worst possible and 25 representing best possible quality of life.
To obtain a percentage score ranging from 0 to 100, the raw score is multiplied by 4. A percentage score of 0 represents worst possible, whereas a score of 100 represents best possible quality of life.
Interpretation:
It is recommended to administer the Major Depression (ICD-10) Inventory if the raw score is below 13 or if the patient has answered 0 to 1 to any of the five items. A score below 13 indicates poor wellbeing and is an indication for testing for depression under ICD-10.
Monitoring change:
In order to monitor possible changes in wellbeing, the percentage score is used. A 10% difference indicates a significant change.
ICD-10: International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision.
