Description:The CDC Worksite Health ScoreCard (HSC) is a tool designed to help employers assess whether they
have implemented evidence-based health promotion interventions or strategies in their worksites to prevent heart disease, stroke, and related conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. The tool was developed by the CDC Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention in collaboration with the Emory University Institute for Health and Productivity Studies (IHPS), the Research Triangle Institute, the CDC National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) Workplace Workgroup, and an expert panel of federal, state, academic, and private sector (individuals who contributed to the development of the CDC Worksite HSC are listed on page 3-4). To ensure the validity and reliability of the tool, a validation study was conducted by Emory University’s IHPS on the tool’s original 12 modules. This study involved a national sample of 93 employers of variable size who agreed to pilot test the survey and provide feedback on the survey’s content and structure. In 2013, four additional modules were developed and tested using a similar protocol as the original validation study.
The purpose of this manual is to assist employers with using The CDC Worksite Health ScoreCard (HSC) to assess their health promotion programs, identify gaps, and prioritize high-impact strategies to prevent heart disease, stroke, and related conditions. CDC believes worksite health promotion and wellness programs are essential to maintaining a healthy workforce.
