| MeravSabri,Ph.D. Today, we are pleased to share the summaryof a recent meeting held to discuss potential strategies to improve measurement of holistic well-being outcomes in research, clinical care, and population health promotion. Although health promotion efforts have historically focused on indicators of disease and dysfunction, measures of well-being can provide a common language among patients, clinicians, policymakers, and others to define and assess positive outcomes. On June 14, 2021, the Office of Patient Centered Care & Cultural Transformation at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) at the National Institutes of Health convened Enhancing Well-Being Measurement in Health Research, Clinical Care, and Population Health Promotion to provide a forum in which researchers and other stakeholders could learn about different approaches to measuring well-being, as well as the relevance of measuring well-being within different organizational contexts and populations. The forum was cochaired by Ben Kligler, M.D., and Dawne Vogt, Ph.D., and included planning group members from both the VA and NCCIH. Many prominent leaders in the field of well-being measurement research participated; the robust dialogue built excitement and will impact future research efforts focusing on well-being and inclusion of measures of well-being in clinical trials and other intervention studies. |
