Interpretation & limitations
- Higher totals reflect greater reported positive wellbeing; interpretation is descriptive and population context matters.
- Interpret the findings alongside the clinical interview, functioning, history and relevant physical assessment.
- The seven-item SWEMWBS uses a different metric/conversion. No illness-probability or universal clinical cutoff is inferred.
- Use the original instrument and manual for item wording, rating anchors, missing-data rules and any normative conversions. This reference does not establish a diagnosis or select treatment.
