i. The average of the actual scores in the different indicators will give the

level of well-being of the family or individual being assessed. For individual

scoring, compute the average of Actual Scores as appropriate for the

individual score in Economic Sufficiency and Social Adequacy measures.

It is noted that the scores by indicators may vary from low 1 to a high 3.

give the level where the client or clients belongs to.

Level 3 2.83-3.00 If the SWDI Index is greater

than or equal to 2.83, the

family is categorized as

Level 3.
Level 2 1.83-2.82 If the SWDI Index is greater

than or equal to 1.83 but

less than 2.83, the family is

wherein ES1 is average score of the employable skills of the covered

family members, ES2 is average score of the working status of the

covered family members, ES3 is score of the income indicator and ES4 is

(0.08*SA4)+(0.04*SA5)

Where; SA1 is the score for the health component, SA2 is score for the

housing component, SA3 is the score for the education component, SA4

is the score for the role performance component, and SA5 is the score for

the family awareness component.

iv. Social Welfare and Development Indicator (SWDI) Index:

Score for the SWDI:

Where: EconSuff- Score for Economic Sufficiency
