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 definition of health, which is, not only the absence of infirmity and disease but also a state of physical, mental and social well-being. To compile the Well-Being Index, Gallup obtains completed interviews from 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 of each of six sub-indices including life evaluation, emotional health, physical health, healthy behavior, work environment and basic access. Changes in condition can be tracked over time, and the introduction of both controlled and uncontrolled variable considered. Discrete populations can also be ranked one against another for a stratified view of their relative well-being.

Survey Methods:
The survey methods for Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index relies on live (not automated) interviewers, dual-frame random-digit-dial (RDD) sampling (which includes landlines as well as wireless phone sampling to reach those in wireless-only households), and a random selection method for choosing respondents within a household. Additionally, daily tracking includes Spanish-language interviews for respondents who speak only Spanish, includes interviews in Alaska and Hawaii. The data are weighted daily to compensate for disproportional ties in selection probabilities and non-response. The data are weighted to match targets from the U.S. Census Bureau by age, sex, region, gender, education, ethnicity and race. The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index Composite Score is comprised of six sub-indices: Life Evaluation, Emotional Health, Physical Health, Healthy Behavior, Work Environment and Basic Access. The Life Evaluation Sub-Index is partially based on the Cantril Self-Anchoring Striving Scale and combines the evaluation of ones present life situation with ones anticipated life situation five years from now. The Emotional Health Sub-Index is primarily a composite of respondents daily experiences, asking respondents to think about how they felt yesterday along nine dimensions. The Physical Health Sub-Index is comprised of questions related to: Body Mass Index, disease burden, sick days, physical pain, daily energy, history of disease and daily health experiences. The Healthy Behavior Sub-Index includes items measuring life style habits with established relationships to health outcomes. The Work Environment Sub-Index surveys workers on several factors to gauge their feelings and perceptions about their work environment. The Basic Access Sub-Index is based on thirteen items measuring residents access to food, shelter, healthcare and a safe and satisfying place to live.
