HOW IS THE NATION WELL BEING ?
The Well-Being Index
This system provides a comprehensive, real-time view of the public's well-being in the United States and abroad, giving governments, health plans, employers and communities unmatched insight into the health and prosperity of their populations. Thi Index is today's "voice of the people" and the most ambitious effort ever undertaken to measure what it is that people believe constitutes a good life, who is feeling good about life, and who is in need of a helping hand.
With the goal of providing the world's most up-to-date measure of individual and Collective Health and well-being, it tracks the well-being of U.S. residents 350 days out of the year interviewing no fewer than 1,000 U.S. adults nationwide each day.
