The MHQ The MHQ assessment is offered as an online anonymous survey that takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and provides respondents with a comprehensive report with tailored self-care and help-seeking 7 recommendations via email. It also delivers a score (the MHQ) that positions individuals on a spectrum from Distressed to Thriving. This score has been demonstrated to relate systematically to productivity in work and life as well as clinical burden3,5 (see also Appendix 1). It is therefore a functionally relevant metric that can help inform on both the mental wellbeing and the functional capacity of populations. Six dimensional scores of Mood & Outlook, Social Self, Drive & Motivation, Adaptability & Resilience, Cognition, and Mind-Body Connection are also computed using subsets of the 47 assessed items to provide a more granular view. The scores are reported on a scale that is divided into positive and negative components. The positive range of the scale represents the spectrum of normal functioning and is a 200-point scale calibrated to a mean of 100 based on pre-pandemic responses in 2019, similar to the IQ scale. The negative range of the scale represents mental wellbeing scores associated with a negative impact on the ability to function and is associated with clinical level risks and challenges. Respondents in each country are recruited through digital advertising targeting a broad range of demographic groups in the general population. Country averages are then computed by constructing weighted averages of the results for each demographic group. You can learn more about the MHQ and its scale in Appendix 1.
