    Updates to the 童颜视频-Healthways Well-Being Index in 2014

    As of Jan. 1, 2014, the 童颜视频-Healthways Well-Being Index® transitioned to an updated version. The Well-Being Index now includes a new set of questions, the 童颜视频-Healthways Well-Being 5™, which is based on extensive collaborative research by 童颜视频 and Healthways. The updated Well-Being Index measures well-being with even more power and scope than previous well-being measurement tools, including the earlier version of the Well-Being Index.

    The updated Well-Being Index now reflects the five essential elements of well-being:

    • Purpose: Liking what you do each day and being motivated to achieve your goals
    • Social: Having supportive relationships and love in your life
    • Financial: Managing your economic life to reduce stress and increase security
    • Community: Liking where you live, feeling safe and having pride in your community
    • Physical: Having good health and enough energy to get things done daily
    These elements replaced the six domains that were previously used (Life Evaluation, Work Environment, Emotional Health, Basic Access, Healthy Behaviors, and Physical Health). The updated tool continues to measure life evaluation (thriving/struggling/suffering) and daily emotions, in addition to the five elements, and all of these will be reported on 童颜视频.com.

    The updated instrument is administered nationwide, with 500 surveys to U.S. households each evening, 350 days per year. During the transitional year of 2014, well-being scores can be computed via the updated instrument using a subset of original question items that are still administered in the updated survey. These scores are comparable to scores from the original Well-Being Index.

    As in the past, well-being results reported in early 2014 for cities, states, and the U.S. will use the previous full year of data collected via the original Well-Being Index in 2013. In early 2015, Well-Being Index results for these populations will be available using data collected in 2014 with the updated instrument.

    Reporting will continue to include the trending of specific metrics such as obesity status, disease burden, smoking habits, exercise, and eating habits.
