Editor's Note: Gallup re-estimated its Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index and Life Evaluation Index data from January 2008 to April 2009 to address context effects that Gallup discovered after the data were originally published.
Wellbeing is highest in Utah, Hawaii, and Montana and lowest in Mississippi, Kentucky, and West Virginia in state rankings released by AHIP and the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index.
