| Publication name: | Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) acceptability and validation in English and Scottish secondary school students Final Report |
| Description: | NHS Health Scotland commissioned work which led to the development and validation of the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) for adults (aged 16+). WEMWBS was found to be user-friendly and psychometrically sound as a measure of mental wellbeing in adults in the UK. We undertook this study to find out whether the scale could also be used to measure mental wellbeing for children of secondary school age. Our aim was to establish the validity, reliability and acceptability of WEMWBS in teenage school students in two secondary school year groups, aged 13-14 and 15-16 years, in two cities, one in Scotland and one in England. |
