The Well-Being Index is an online self-assessment tool invented by researchers at Mayo Clinic that measures mental distress and well-being in seven-nine items.[1][2] The Well-Being Index is an anonymous tool that allows participants to reassess on a monthly basis, track their well-being scores over time, compare their results to peers' and national averages, and access customized resources based on their assessment results.[3] There are six clinically-validated versions of the Well-Being Index: Advanced Practice Provider,[4] Employee,[5] Medical Student,[6] Nurse,[7] Physician,[8] and Resident/Fellow.[9]
