World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief self-report measure is designed to screen current subjective well-being; the World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5) is commonly used as an initial indicator of positive mood and psychological comfort. Respondents rate how they have felt over the past two weeks.
The scale includes 5 items and typically takes about 1 minutes to complete. Scores can be used to support clinical monitoring over time and to flag individuals who may benefit from additional assessment for mood-related concerns; it is not a stand-alone diagnostic instrument. Authors cited in some sources include Ed Diener and Carol D. Ryff. In practice, the World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5) is often integrated into clinical and research protocols where a rapid, standardized well-being check is needed.
