LOINC long common name : General Well-Being Schedule - 18 item [NHANES];
LOINC description : The General Well Being (GWB) Schedule 18-item self-administered questionnaire was
initially developed for the U.S. Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HANES I).
The GWB Schedule includes positive and negative questions across six dimensions: well-being,
self-control, vitality, depression, anxiety, and general health. Each item has the
time frame during the last month, and the first 14 questions use 6-point response
scales representing intensity or frequency. The remaining four questions use 0-10
rating scales defined by adjectives at each end. The polarity of items 1, 3, 6, 7,
9, 11, 15, and 16 is reversed for scoring, and items within each subscale are added
together for a total score. Lower scores reflect distress and higher scores reflect
positive well-being.[PMID: 610049];
