title: An employee total health management-based survey of Iowa employers.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To implement an Employee Total Health Management (ETHM) model-based questionnaire and provide estimates of model program elements among a statewide sample of Iowa employers.
  
  
  METHODS
  Survey a stratified random sample of Iowa employers, and characterize and estimate employer participation in ETHM program elements.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Iowa employers are implementing less than 30% of all 12 components of ETHM, with the exception of occupational safety and health (46.6%) and workers' compensation insurance coverage (89.2%), but intend modest expansion of all components in the coming year.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The ETHM questionnaire-based survey provides estimates of progress Iowa employers are making toward implementing components of Total Worker Health programs.
