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.
