To estimate workforce participation characteristics and employees' attitudes regarding participation in workplace wellness programs.
Design.
Data from a statewide stratified random sample were used to compare small (<50 employees) and larger (50+ employees) workplaces to estimate participation in screening programs and likelihood of participation in workplace wellness programs.
Setting.
A telephone survey of employed Iowans registered to vote.
Subjects.
Surveyed were 1171 employed Iowans registered to vote, ages 18 to 65.
Measure.
Among questionnaire survey modules were items from the Wellness Council of America Employee Needs and Interest Survey, the U.S. Census Bureau for employment documentation, and the World Health Organization Health and Work Performance Questionnaire for assessment of sickness absenteeism and presenteeism.
Analysis.
Prevalence of participation in screening and wellness programs was analyzed by employment size and levels of likeliness to participate, and multivariable analyses of employee baseline characteristics regarding participation in screening programs and likelihood of participation in wellness programs was presented as top and bottom quartiles.
Results.
Those employed in smaller workplaces participated less often in screening programs. Multivariable models identified male gender and those with an abnormal body mass index were associated with nonparticipation, while having a primary care physician was associated with participation. Very few items showed significant statistical difference in willingness to participate.
Conclusion.
Workforce characteristics and access to health care may influence participation in screening and wellness programs. Employment size is not a determining factor for willingness to participate in wellness programs.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0890-1171</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2168-6602</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.4278/ajhp.140613-QUAN-283</identifier><identifier>PMID: 26730552</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Los Angeles, CA: SAGE Publications</publisher><subject><![CDATA[Absenteeism ; Adolescent ; Adult ; Age Factors ; Aged ; Attitude ; Attitudes ; Body Mass Index ; Censuses ; Cigarette Smoking - epidemiology ; Employees ; Employment ; Exercise ; Female ; Health care access ; Health promotion ; Health Promotion - organization & administration ; Health technology assessment ; Humans ; Illnesses ; Insurance Coverage - statistics & numerical data ; Insurance, Health - statistics & numerical data ; Iowa - epidemiology ; Labor force ; Male ; Mass Screening - psychology ; Mass Screening - statistics & numerical data ; Medical screening ; Middle Aged ; Occupational Health ; Participation ; Patient-Centered Care - statistics & numerical data ; Primary care ; Sex Factors ; Socioeconomic Factors ; Telephone surveys ; Voter registration ; Wellness programs ; Workforce ; Workplace - psychology ; Workplace - statistics & numerical data ; Workplaces ; Young Adult]]></subject><ispartof>American journal of health promotion, 2017-09, Vol.31 (5), p.391-400</ispartof><rights>2016 by American Journal of Health Promotion, Inc.</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c443t-f6560f20ef56803f8d39f70452b619531b655bae338c580da69153353e1824783</citedby></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.4278/ajhp.140613-QUAN-283$$EPDF$$P50$$Gsage$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.4278/ajhp.140613-QUAN-283$$EHTML$$P50$$Gsage$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>314,776,780,21798,27901,27902,30976,43597,43598</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26730552$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Hall, Jennifer L.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Kelly, Kevin M.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Burmeister, Leon F.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Merchant, James A.</creatorcontrib><title>Workforce Characteristics and Attitudes Regarding Participation in Worksite Wellness Programs</title><title>American journal of health promotion</title><addtitle>Am J Health Promot</addtitle><description>Purpose.
