The nine-item Advanced Practice Provider Well-Being Index measures distress and well-being among APPs, including nurse practitioners and physician assistants. This version of the Well-Being Index has been validated as a useful screening tool to measure likelihood of burnout, severe fatigue, prevalence of suicidal ideation, risk of medical error, meaning in work, and work-life integration among APPs.

The eWBI was developed to identify distress and well-being among U.S. workers. The assessment consists of nine-items and measures six dimensions of distress and well-being, including quality of life, meaning in work, likelihood of burnout, severe fatigue, work-life integration, and suicidal ideation.

The MSWBI consists of seven items and is a version of the Well-Being Index designed to assess psychological distress in medical students. The MSWBI measures similar dimensions of distress and well-being as other versions of the Well-Being Index but includes dropout risk as a unique dimension.

The Nurse Well-Being Index is a nine-item assessment that measures likelihood of burnout, severe fatigue, suicidal ideation, quality of life, meaning in work, and work-life integration. This version of the Well-Being Index has been validated in stratifying distress and well-being and identifying the risk of reduced quality of care among U.S. nurses.

The PWBI consists of nine items and is the original version of the Well-Being Index. It is designed as a brief screening tool for physicians in all specialties and measures the following six dimensions of distress and well-being: Likelihood of burnout, severe fatigue, suicidal ideation, risk of medical error, meaning in work, and work-life integration.

The Resident & Fellow Well-Being Index is designed specifically for physicians in training. This version consists of seven items that measure risk of medical error, sense of meaning in work, quality of life, suicidal ideation, severe fatigue, and likelihood of burnout.

The Well-Being Index calculates a total well-being score for participants based on their assessment responses. Assessments contain seven or nine items depending on the Well-Being Index version. The seven-item versions consist of yes/no response categories and calculate scores by adding the number of 'yes' responses. The nine-item versions contain an additional two Likert scale items that add or subtract points from the score of the first seven items.
