Key Points

The study aims to validate the WHO-5 Well-being Index for assessing psychological well-being among adolescents in conflict settings.
Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted on the WHO-5 Well-being Index.
Participants included adolescents in Colombia and Nigeria, totaling 82 individuals.
Model fit was evaluated using CFI, TLI, and RMSEA metrics.
Confirmatory factor analysis initially showed poor fit (CFI = 0.972, TLI = 0.944, RMSEA = 0.105).
After adjusting for item covariance, model fit improved significantly (CFI = 0.998, TLI = 0.994, RMSEA = 0.034).
The WHO-5 Index was reaffirmed as a valid instrument for assessing well-being in this demographic.
