• Description:
  Objective: Identify survey, interview, and observational measures and measurement tools to assess constructs associated with Total Worker Health® (TWH). Methods: We conducted a scoping review to identify articles that presented or evaluated measures and tools associated with worker health, safety, and well-being. We supplemented this review with a scan of NIOSH's TWH website and those of the Centers of Excellence for TWH. We extracted information about the measures and tools, including descriptive attributes, substantive focus, and evidence of psychometric evaluation. Results: We identified 102 measures and tools. Substantively, many addressed the conditions of work and worker safety, health, and well-being outcomes. Ten measures and tools did not have an available psychometric evaluation. Conclusions: This work advances the science of TWH by identifying available measures and tools that researchers and practitioners can use when designing, implementing, and evaluating future studies.
