The WHO-5 Child Wellbeing Index is a simple self-reported measure of children’s psychological wellbeing. It consists of five, positively phrased questions, which can be administered in under five minutes.

This document presents a slightly simplified version of the original tool, developed by the World Health Organization, with five answer options instead of six. This version of the tool was successfully tested by ICI in both Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana and found to be suitable for use with children aged 5-17.
