The Healthy Choices Quiz provides an easy first step for those who want to feel healthier but may not know where to start
How does the quiz work?
The quiz will first capture some basic demographic information for you and will explore different health motivations, then the quiz will ask you a series of lifestyle questions across six main themes:
movement
eating
alcohol consumption
smoking and vaping
mental health
sleep
You will then receive an overall score out of 10 based on your answers. This score indicates how your lifestyle could be affecting your health and wellbeing and how you are doing in each lifestyle area. Most importantly, it recommends what to do if you should need to make any changes. This includes directing you to NHS apps, advice and resources to help you get going with confidence. You can also sign up to an email programme to get additional information and support on key lifestyle areas straight to your inbox.
