This is the second in a series of studies examining what everyday people think it means to be healthy. Though a number of well-being and quality of life measures exist, none of these have been developed by attending to and attempting to quantify the ideas of everyday people (laypeople). By measuring concepts of health as they are thought and spoken of by everyday people, my hope is to to better be able to predict individual experiences of health and health-related decisions. In addition, the measure that will be the end product of this study may have some clinical application, as it may serve to broaden and deepen health dialogues between patients and the health care providers they seek services from.
