The aim of this study was to develop a positive psychology intervention suitable for a community pharmacy setting with the goal of increasing the well-being of community members. Methods: Intervention development consisted of three steps: Step 1&#x2014;identify the evidence-base and well-being model to underpin the basis of the intervention (Version 1); Step 2&#x2014;model the intervention and gather user feedback to produce Version 2, and Step 3&#x2014;revisit the evidence-base and refine the intervention to produce Version 3. Results: Findings from nine studies (seven RCTs, one cross-sectional, one N-1 design plus user feedback were applied to model a 6-week &#x2018;Prescribing Happiness (P-Hap)&#x2019; intervention, underpinned by the PERMA model plus four other components from the positive psychology literature (Three Good Things, Utilising Your Signature Strengths in New Ways, Best Possible Selves and Character Strengths). A PERMA-based diary was designed to be completed 3 days a week as part of the intervention. Conclusions: This work is an important development which will direct the future implementation of interventions to support well-being in this novel setting. The next stage is to gain the perspectives of external stakeholders on the feasibility of delivering the P-Hap for its adoption into community pharmacy services in the future.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>Pharmacy</journal><volume>11</volume><journalNumber>1</journalNumber><paginationStart>14</paginationStart><paginationEnd/><publisher>MDPI AG</publisher><placeOfPublication/><isbnPrint/><isbnElectronic/><issnPrint/><issnElectronic>2226-4787</issnElectronic><keywords>community pharmacy; well-being; positive psychology; public health; intervention; PERMA; diary</keywords><publishedDay>11</publishedDay><publishedMonth>1</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2023</publishedYear><publishedDate>2023-01-11</publishedDate><doi>10.3390/pharmacy11010014</doi><url/><notes/><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><department>Medical School</department><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><DepartmentCode>MEDS</DepartmentCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><apcterm>Another institution paid the OA fee</apcterm><funders>The authors acknowledge Cardiff Metropolitan University, KESS and The Health Dispensary who supported this project.</funders><projectreference/><lastEdited>2025-07-10T12:23:19.7041668</lastEdited><Created>2025-06-11T14:38:09.6119250</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Sciences</level><level id="2">Swansea University Medical School - Pharmacy</level></path><authors><author><firstname>Jennifer Louise</firstname><surname>Ward</surname><order>1</order></author><author><firstname>Alison</firstname><surname>Sparkes</surname><order>2</order></author><author><firstname>Marie</firstname><surname>Ricketts</surname><order>3</order></author><author><firstname>Paul</firstname><surname>Hewlett</surname><order>4</order></author><author><firstname>Amie-Louise</firstname><surname>Prior</surname><order>5</order></author><author><firstname>Britt</firstname><surname>Hallingberg</surname><order>6</order></author><author><firstname>Delyth</firstname><surname>James</surname><orcid>0000-0001-7434-7064</orcid><order>7</order></author></authors><documents><document><filename>69691__34726__379c5f921df94e63afefafc0838db3ac.pdf</filename><originalFilename>69691.VoR.pdf</originalFilename><uploaded>2025-07-10T12:16:02.4083649</uploaded><type>Output</type><contentLength>325309</contentLength><contentType>application/pdf</contentType><version>Version of Record</version><cronfaStatus>true</cronfaStatus><documentNotes>&#xA9; 2023 by the authors.
