Development of the AT&T Health Audit for measuring organizational health

Like any behavioral intervention, health promotion programs require a thorough initial assessment of an array of individual and organizational problems, needs, interests, and resources. Accurate risk assessment should include both contextual and personal characteristics as well as the interaction between the two. This article describes the AT&T Health Audit, a survey that addresses worksite health issues and collects data on the prevalence of lifestyle risk factors, as well as the attitudes, knowledge, and skills related to health. A copy of the Health Audit is provided and its applications are discussed.
