Mo Putera comments on Measuring Good Better

[Mo Putera]

HLI’s research overview page mentions that they’re planning to look into the following interventions and policies via the WELLBY lens; there is some overlap with what you mentioned:

Our search for outstanding funding opportunities continues at three levels of scale. These are set out below with examples of the interventions and policies we plan to investigate next.

Micro-interventions (helping one person at a time)

• Deworming programs

• Cataract surgery

• Cement flooring

• Friendship Bench

• Mental health apps

Meso-interventions (systemic change through specific policies)

• Lead regulation

• Access to pain relief

• Immigration policy

• Psychedelic-assisted therapy

Macro-interventions (systemic change through the adoption of a wellbeing approach)

• Advocacy for, and funding of, subjective wellbeing research

• Developing policy blueprints for governments to increase wellbeing

Thanks for spotting and including this Mo! Yes, Dan, at HLI we’re trying to develop and deploy the WELLBY approach and work how much difference it makes vs the ‘business as normal’ income and health approaches. We’re making progress, but it’s not as fast as we’d like it to be!
