Description
The Personal Wellbeing Index-Adult (PWI-A) is a seven-item, self-administered scale that measures satisfaction with the following life domains: standard of living, health, life achievement, personal relationships, personal safety, community connectedness, and future security. Each item is rated on a 0-to-10 scale (0 = No satisfaction at all; 10 = Very satisfied). Items can be scored individually to derive a score for the corresponding domain, or all the scores for all items can be summed and averaged to form the Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI).
