This study explores university employee perceptions and under-standing about its Worksite Health Promotion Program (WHPP). The WHPP included a Health Risk Appraisal (HRA), biometric screening, publicity for on-campus health programs and facilities, and health coaching.
A qualitative design was used based on a grounded theory ap-proach. Four 90 minutes focus groups with 6-8 participants in each were conducted within a two 2 week period among employees, representing fac-ulty/participants, fac-ulty/nonparticipants, staff/participants, and staff/nonparticipants. Responses to questions about motivations, barriers, and perceived health benefits that impacted participation in the WHPP were digi-tally recorded, transcribed and coded for themes.
Incentives effectively motivated participation. Biometric screening had the largest impact on behavior change, followed by the information learned from the HRA. However, despite two-thirds of the employees partici-pating in the pro-gram, lack of a full understanding of WHPP benefits and services lowered partici-pation in follow-up services and supplemental pro-grams.
Biometric screening and HRAs effectively motivate program par-ticipation. Communication of benefits and services are important when providing WHPPs.
本研究探讨了大学员工对其工作场所健康促进计划（WHPP）的看法和理解。该WHPP包括健康风险评估（HRA）、生物特征筛查、校内健康计划和设施的宣传以及健康指导。
采用基于扎根理论方法的定性设计。在两周内对员工进行了四个90分钟的焦点小组讨论，每个小组有6 - 8名参与者，分别代表教师/参与者、教师/非参与者、工作人员/参与者和工作人员/非参与者。对有关影响参与WHPP的动机、障碍和感知健康益处的问题的回答进行了数字记录、转录并编码以找出主题。
激励措施有效地促进了参与。生物特征筛查对行为改变的影响最大，其次是从HRA中学到的信息。然而，尽管三分之二的员工参与了该计划，但对WHPP益处和服务缺乏充分了解降低了对后续服务和补充计划的参与度。
生物特征筛查和HRA有效地促进了计划参与。在提供WHPP时，福利和服务的沟通很重要。
