WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Mental Health Continuum (MHC) Test

well-being

This self-report measure assesses positive mental health over the past month, including emotional, psychological, and social well-being. The Mental Health Continuum (MHC) is intended to help characterize levels of well-being beyond the absence of clinical symptoms.

The instrument includes 14 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Responses can support clinical screening, outcome monitoring, and research applications by providing a brief profile of well-being across multiple domains.

Interpretation of Mental Health Continuum (MHC) results should be integrated with clinical interview data and other relevant measures, as appropriate, and used to inform case formulation and follow-up planning rather than as a standalone diagnostic indicator.
