title: Private sector worksite health promotion programs in Missouri: a comparison with national survey findings and Healthy People recommendations.
abstract: Questionnaries with 22 multiple-choice questions were mailed to a random sample of 450 Missouri employers with 250 or more employees to determine the prevalence and types of workplace health promotion programs; 262 (58%) responded. Only 34% of the responding companies offered any kind of program and 65% of these offered only awareness programs, but most offered programs on all 18 topics listed in the questionnaire; 48% had a full-time program manager, 79% had some form of evaluation, and 36% had some form of financial incentives.
