Resources for measuring well-being

If members of the University of Sheffield would like to include a measure of well-being within a trial you can contact Tessa Peasgood at t.peasgood@sheffield.ac.uk or Clara Mukuria at c.mukuria@sheffield.ac.uk to discuss which measures might be most appropriate for your needs.

We would encourage people to consider including the following single item, life satisfaction question used in the Personal Wellbeing Index, refer to the Australian Centre on Quality of Life for further details. This question (preferably included at the start of any questionnaire) is comparable to other data.

"Thinking about your own life and personal circumstances, how satisfied are you with your life as a whole?"
