Simple well-being screens could help clinicians view patients holistically, fostering referrals and proactive health measures.
Dawne Vogt, PhD, and her colleagues described two surveys of well-being developed for use in clinical settings.
“Well-Being Brief” is self-administered and asks more in-depth questions about finances, health, social relationships, and vocation. Clinicians can use the tool to make referrals to appropriate services like counseling or resources like senior centers. Vogt shared that anecdotally, she finds patients are pleasantly surprised by the questionnaires “because they're being seen in a way that they don't always feel like they're seen.”
“A measure of depression tells you something much more narrow than a measure of well-being tells you,” she said, adding that identifying problem areas early can help prevent developing mental health disorders. For example, Vogt said that veterans with higher well-being are less likely to develop posttraumatic stress disorder when exposed to trauma.
