The national revalidation and electronic configuration of the La Crosse Wellness Inventory
Abstract
Content validity of the 182-item La Crosse Wellness Inventory (LWI) was determined by
review of literature and review by jury of experts. The national jury sample consisted of
25 selected experts aligned with one or more of the 9 areas of the LWI. Jury members
were asked to rate the acceptability level of each statement on a 5-point Li~ert-types cale
regarding its ability to assess a person's level of wellness within the context of a
particular wellness area. Additionally, jury members were encouraged to comment on
any and all statements. Following jurification, 80 statements were revised, 6 statements
were eliminated, and 1 statement was added. The revised LWI was comprised of 178
items. The LWI software was constructed utilizing Internet and web-based technology.
HyperText Markup Language (HTML) was adapted to construct the web pages, and Java
programming language was used to make the software interactive. The LWI software
components included static web pages, the client-side applet, and the server-side
application To complete the La Crosse Wellness Project, users are asked to enter their
data into the Wellness Development Process in order to develop a personalized wellness
plan
