The Quality of Well-Being (QWB) scale is an interview-based measure of well-being. The QWB scale combines preference-weighted measures of symptoms and functioning to provide a numerical point-in-time expression of Well-Being, which ranges from zero for death to one for asymptomatic full functioning. The QWB scale includes a symptom-scale and three scales of function: mobility, physical activity, and social activity. Further details on the QWB scale are discussed in this paper, along with its use in trauma outcomes research.
