Introduction:
Few measures can comprehensively explore the extent to which individuals are able to effectively identify areas of concern, create a personalized health action plan and target these areas for improvement. Thus, the aim of this paper was to validate the Health Skills Profile (HSP©) as a measure for assessing health-related skills and explore the relationship between the HSP skills with existing validated measures.
Method:
Participants completed a battery of self-report measures (including validated measures and visual analogue scales [VAS] that relate to each of the health-related skills) and the HSP measure online.
Results:
We explored the association between each skill within the HSP with their corresponding validated measure. We found a significant positive relationship between the HSP skills and the validated measures. Further, we found a significant positive relationship between the HSP skills and the corresponding VAS.
Conclusion:
These findings suggest that the HSP can be combined with other assessment data to develop more complete personalized profiles of individual and organizational health and health behaviors.
