john doe Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I saw this article today, and wondered how it will get spun, seeing as how recent reports claim that Utah has the highest use of anti-depressants. Utah, Hawaii, Wyoming top 'happiness' poll From the article: "Looking for happiness — it's family-friendly communities for some, tropical paradise or the rugged West for others. A survey of Americans' well-being, conducted by Gallup in partnership with Healthways and America's Health Insurance Plans, gives high marks to Utah, which boasts lots of outdoor recreation for its youthful population............The survey, which takes about 15 minutes, involved 42 core questions. Those taking the survey could get a score of up to 100. The actual difference between states wasn't great: The average score for the highest-ranking state, Utah, was 69.2 points, while the average for the lowest-ranking state, West Virginia, was 61.2 points."So, apparently those happy pills are having the desired effect....
