CDC uses a set of questions called the “Healthy Days Measures.” These questions include the following:

• Would you say that in general your health is excellent, very good, good, fair or poor?

• Now thinking about your physical health, which includes physical illness and injury, how many days during the past 30 days was your physical health not good?

• Now thinking about your mental health, which includes stress, depression, and problems with emotions, how many days during the past 30 days was your mental health not good?

• During the past 30 days, approximately how many days did poor physical or mental health keep you from doing your usual activities, such as self-care, work, or recreation?
