WHO-5 has 5 statements scored 0 to 5. The raw total is 0 to 25. Multiply by 4 to get a percentage from 0 to 100. A score at or below 50 percent suggests low well-being and the need for a closer look. A score at or below 28 percent suggests very low well-being.

It measures current well-being over the last 2 weeks. Higher scores mean better well-being.
How is it scored
Each item is 0 to 5. Raw total is 0 to 25. Multiply by 4 for a percent score from 0 to 100.
What do my results mean
Above 50 percent suggests good well-being. 29 to 50 suggests low well-being. 0 to 28 suggests very low well-being. Use these as guides, not a diagnosis.

No. Your answers stay in your browser using localStorage. The share link encodes results in the URL after the #. Servers do not receive that part.
