NDTi Wellbeing Questions Framework

The NDTi Wellbeing Questions Framework is a tool designed to measure key aspects of wellbeing relevant to social care and quality of life.

It helps understand individuals’ perceptions of their emotional, social, and environmental wellbeing, aiding decision-making across various services.

The NDTi Wellbeing Questions Framework forms part of a bigger toolkit that is based on prevention and understanding the impact of prevention.

This questions framework can be used alone or with our data collection tool which helps to understand this impact. Used together this strengths-based toolkit can help you to:

Understand how well you are doing.
Work out the economic social value of prevention linked to reduced use of services.
