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,

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

Mass Index, disease burden, sick days, physical pain, daily
energy, history o disease and daily health experiences.

to health outcomes. The Work Environment Sub-Index
surveys workers on several actors to gauge their eelings

and satisying place to live.
