Mental Health Inventory (MHI-5)

Your Feelings Over the Past 4 Weeks

1. Thank you for taking part. These five questions ask how you have been feeling recently, and your answers help us understand mental wellbeing and plan support.

2. These questions are the Mental Health Inventory-5 (MHI-5), the emotional well-being items of the RAND 36-Item Health Survey 1.0 (RAND Corporation), based on the Medical Outcomes Study by Ware, Sherbourne and colleagues.

3. Your result is a screening aid, not a diagnosis. If you are worried about how you have been feeling, please talk to a health professional.

4. These questions are about how you feel and how things have been with you during the past 4 weeks. For each question, please give the one answer that comes closest to the way you have been feeling. How much of the time during the past 4 weeks...

   • Have you been a very nervous person?
   • Have you felt so down in the dumps that nothing could cheer you up?
   • Have you felt calm and peaceful?
   • Have you felt downhearted and blue?
   • Have you been a happy person?

   For each row: choose one:

   • All of the time
   • Most of the time
   • A good bit of the time
   • Some of the time
   • A little of the time
   • None of the time
