Description:

Objective To conduct validation analyses for a new measure of the integration of worksite health protection and health promotion approaches developed in earlier research. Methods A survey of small to medium size employers located in the United States was conducted between October 2013 and March 2014 (N=111). Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient was used to assess reliability and Pearson correlation coefficients were used to assess convergent validity. Results The Integration Score was positively associated with the measures of occupational safety and health and health promotion activities/policies–supporting its convergent validity (Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.32–0.47). Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.94, indicating excellent reliability. Conclusions The Integration Score appears to be a promising tool for assessing integration of health promotion and health protection. Further work is needed to test its dimensionality and validate its use in other samples.
