C’mon Get Happy

Gallup-Healthways Introduces a New Index That Measures The Overall Happiness Of Americans

A new poll measuring the daily levels of happiness and well-being among Americans has been developed and launched by the Gallup Organization and its partner Healthways, Inc.  By interviewing 1,000 Americans each day in 2008, these organizations are providing much needed data concerning the happiness factor as it relates to the overall wellness quotient concerning personal health status.

The poll has the potential to influence how we look at such things as national policies, healthcare, and employment. In many ways, it’s been the missing link in the arena of population health improvement and this new data provides many exciting possibilities.
