LOINC description : The total score for the General Well Being Schedule (GWB) 18-item, self-administered
questionnaire. The first 14 questions use 6-point response scales representing intensity
or frequency, where each response is assigned a numeric score from 0 to 5 (in the
original GWB Schedule) or 1 to 6 (in some alternate versions). 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, 13, 15, and 16 is reversed for scoring, and if using the
original GWB Schedule, scores within each subscale are added together for a total
score. If the first 14 questions are scored using the alternate 1 to 6 scoring then
14 is substracted from the total. Regardless of the scoring system used, the total
score ranges from 0-110. Lower scores reflect distress and higher scores reflect positive
well-being.[PMID: 610049];
