			The Wellbeing Evaluation Scale (WES) is a brief, self report measure designed to measure wellbeing in older people (age 55+).

			Informed by an evidence-based theoretical framework the WES was developed with a reading age of 12 years, and has both long (47 item) and short (19 item) questionnaires. Respondents rate themselves against statements on a 5-point likert scale.&nbsp;

			The 47 item Long Form provides a measure of subjective, behavioural and contextual dimensions of well-being across 6 structural properties of well-being:

			<ul>
				<li>Integrity of self</li>
				<li>Integrity of others</li>
				<li>Belonging</li>
				<li>Agency</li>
				<li>Enrichment</li>
				<li>Security</li>
			</ul>

			Responses are collated and provide a profile of well-being across all 6 domains in addition to population percentages.

			The 19 item Short Form provides an average wellbeing score and population percentages.

			The WES has been developed on both clinical and non-clinical populations, and can be used as a clinical assessment or care planning tool, as well as providing an overall measure of well-being. It is exceptional in that it is relevant for both individual and population based assessment in all social and health care settings as well as demographic and epidemiological research.

			<h3>Key Features:</h3>

			<ul>
				<li>Short Form &ndash; ideal for screening</li>
				<li>Enables large, population based assessment</li>
				<li>Long form &ndash; for more detailed assessment</li>
				<li>Can be used for care planning on an individual or population basis</li>
				<li>Results presented graphically for easy comparison</li>
				<li>Can be used in all health and social care settings</li>
				<li>A useful demographic and research tool</li>
				<li>Reading age of 12 years on the questionnaires</li>
			</ul>
