| Abstract | The quantification of well-being through biological indicators represents a paradigm shift from subjective assessment toward objective, mechanistic evaluation frameworks. Contemporary biological measures encompass inflammatory cytokine profiles, neuroendocrine markers, autonomic function indices, metabolomic signatures, and neuroplasticity indicators. These objective metrics offer reproducible endpoints for intervention research while enabling personalized assessment strategies based on individual biological profiles. Those interested in the biological measures of well-being require access to reliable, evidence-based tools to guide them. This chapter serves as a practical resource to essential materials supporting effective work in this field. Rather than an exhaustive list, it prioritizes readily available information with demonstrated utility in real-world settings. The chapter directs readers to key sources relevant to biological measures of well-being, policy creation, and program evaluation. To ensure currency, this compilation includes resources recommended by researchers, physicians, practitioners, and other experts active in the biological measures of well-being. By offering a curated collection of impactful materials, this chapter aims to facilitate access to and application of current knowledge. Included are tables listing over 140 organizations, scientific societies, regulatory bodies and other web-based resources relevant to an evidence-based approach. These resources are categorized by type, including regulatory bodies, professional societies, emerging technologies, and other materials of interest, providing practitioners with a focused point of entry to vital information. |
