Repository of Wellbeing Measures

There are numerous scales that measure wellbeing. In an effort to assist NIRSA members in selecting the best instrument  for the goals and objectives of their work, the Wellbeing Research Work Group, a subgroup of NIRSA’s Health & Wellbeing Task Force, has curated a list of scales that have been:

1. utilized in higher education settings,
2. with college student populations,
3. validated through published research,
4. and are minimal to no cost.

This resource is a non-exhaustive list of selected scales that are commonly used to measure wellbeing.
