What this survey measures

This survey is structured around 7 scales.

Overall Scale

Overall Life Satisfaction

Overall12–36

Overall Life Satisfaction helps schools understand how young people feel about their lives, both at school and at home, measuring a young person's overall happiness and health-related quality of life. The score is based on six areas: how they feel physically, their emotions, self-esteem, family life, friendships, and their daily life at school. A higher score means a higher quality of life, which gives schools a complete picture of a student's well-being across those different areas.
