Proposed Project
CDC Worksite Health Scorecard--New--National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is
establishing the Worksite Health Scorecard, an online organizational
assessment tool, to enable employers to assess the number of evidence-
based health promotion
[[Page 5414]]
interventions or strategies in their worksites to prevent heart
disease, stroke, and related conditions such as hypertension, diabetes,
and obesity. The CDC Worksite Health Scorecard will support small, mid-
size, and large employer with three primary goals: (1) Reduce the risk
of chronic disease among employees and their families through science-
based workplace health interventions and promising practices; (2)
Assist employers in identifying gaps in their health promotion
programs, and help them to prioritize high-impact strategies for health
promotion at their worksites; and (3) Increase understanding of the
organizational programs, policies, and practices that employers of
various sizes and industry sectors have implemented to support healthy
lifestyle behaviors and monitor changes over time.
CDC will provide outreach to and register approximately 600
employers per year to use the online survey which is open to employers
of all sizes, industry sectors, and geographic locations across the
country. Worksite Health Scorecard users will create a user account,
complete the online assessment and receive an immediate feedback report
that summarizes the current status of their worksite health program;
identifies gaps in current programming; benchmarks individual employer
results against other users of the system; and provides access to
worksite health tools and resources to address employer gaps and
priority program areas.
CDC will use the information collected to evaluate the
effectiveness of the Worksite Health Scorecard in terms of (1)
identifying success drivers for building and maintaining successful
workplace health programs; (2) raising awareness and knowledge of
science-based worksite health programs, policies and practices; and (3)
develop additional worksite health tools and resources for employers.
The information will also be used to evaluate the impact of the CDC
Worksite Health Scorecard on employer adoption of worksite health
programs, policies, and environmental supports.
OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation in the CDC
Worksite Health Scorecard is voluntary and there are no costs to
participants other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 300.
