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

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.
