Optimal living profile: An inventory to assess health and wellness

Objective: To develop an instrument to assess environmental, emotional, spi ritual, physical, social, and intellectual health and wellness. Methods: Re liability was assessed using 102 respondents who completed the OLP on 2 occ asions. Concurrent validity was assessed using a second sample of 34 respon dents and a panel of 6 experts. Results: Most items had high test-retest co rrelation coefficients. Each dimension had high internal consistency (ie, h igh Cronbach Alphas). Independence of items in each dimension suggested goo d divergent and convergent validity. Conclusions: The OLP is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing dimensions of the Total Person Concept.
