State and Congressional District Resource for Well-Being

In January 2009, Gallup and Healthways formed an alliance with America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) to produce an annual report on the Well-Being for each of the 435 congressional districts in the U.S. and bi-annually on each of the 50 states. The massive scope of the Well-Being Index's 1,000 interviews completed a night was intentionally designed to support this level of reporting and insight. There are specific challenges that are unique to even adjoining areas and a simplistic national solution will not have the impact that is required to stave off the looming healthcare crisis. AHIP's decision to use the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index as the barometer of well-being will expand the benchmark for conversations about healthcare nationwide.
