Questions Used To Obtain the National Data |
From the 1998 Current Population Survey: |
|
Ø Is (Person) attending or enrolled in regular school? |
|
Ø What grade or year is (Person) attending? |
|
Ø Was (Person) attending or enrolled in a regular school or college in October, 199_, that is, October of last year? |

Comments |
High school completion is the proportion of persons aged 18 to 24 years not currently enrolled in high school who report that they have received a high school diploma or the equivalent (such as a General Education Development (GED) certificate), regardless of the type of credential. |
|
States are able to report in 3-year averages only. For States with small populations, the 3-year estimates may be unreliable. |

7-5a. (Developmental) Worksites with fewer than 50 employees |
|
Comments |
An operational definition could not be specified at the time of publication. |
|
The proposed national data source is the 1999 National Worksite Health Promotion Survey (NWHPS), Association for Worksite Health Promotion (AWHP). |
|
A comprehensive worksite health promotion program contains all of the following elements: |
|
(1) health education that focuses on skill development and lifestyle behavior change in addition to information dissemination and awareness building, preferably tailored to employees interests and needs; |
|
(2) supportive social and physical environments, including established norms for healthy behavior and policies that promote health and reduce risk of disease, such as worksite smoking policies, healthy nutrition alternatives in the cafeteria and vending machines, and opportunities for obtaining regular physical activity; |
|
(3) integration of the worksite program into the organization’s structure; |
|
(4) related programs, such as employee assistance programs; and |
|
(5) screening programs, preferably linked to medical care delivery to ensure follow-up and appropriate treatment as necessary and to encourage adherence. |
|
This objective is adapted from a measure in Healthy People 2000 objective 8.6, which tracked worksites with less than 50 employees, 50 or more employees, as well as medium and large companies. It measured the proportion that offered any health promotion activity for their employees, preferably as part of a comprehensive employee health promotion program. This measure tracks the proportion of worksites with less than 50, 50 to 99, 100-249, 250 to 749, and 750 or more employees who offer a comprehensive (as defined above) health promotion program to both full- and part-time employees. |

This objective is adapted from a measure in Healthy People 2000 objective 8.6, which tracked worksites with less than 50 employees, 50 or more employees, as well as medium and large companies. It measured the proportion that offered any health promotion activity for their employees, preferably as part of a comprehensive employee health promotion program. This measure tracks the proportion of worksites with less than 50, 50 to 99, 100-249, 250 to 749, and 750 or more employees who offer a comprehensive (as defined above) health promotion program to both full- and part-time employees. |

This annual survey does not include managed care organizations (MCOs), which are systems that integrate the financing and delivery of health care services to covered individuals by means of arrangements with selected providers to furnish health care services to members. |
||||||
|
Proposed questions from the American Hospital Association Survey to be used to obtain the data are: Ø Does the hospital’s mission statement include a focus on community benefit? Ø Does the hospital have a long-term plan for improving the health of its community? Ø Does the hospital have resources for its community benefits activities? Ø Does the hospital work with other local providers, public agencies or community representatives to conduct a health status assessment of the community? |
||||||
|
Ø Does the hospital work with other local providers, public agencies or community representatives to develop a written assessment of the appropriate capacity for health services in the community? [If yes:] o Has the hospital used the assessment to identify unmet health needs, excess capacity, or duplicative services in the community? |
||||||
|
This objective is adapted from a measure in Healthy People 2000 objective number 8.12, which tracked the proportion of community hospitals that offer community health programs addressing the priority health needs of their communities. This measure will track the proportion of community hospitals, as well as managed care organizations, that provide community disease prevention and health promotion activities that address the priority health needs identified by their communities. |

||||||
|
(3) Targeted and measurable objectives to address at least one of the following: health concerns, risk factors, public awareness, services, and protection; |
||||||
|
(4) Comprehensive multifaceted, culturally relevant interventions that have multiple targets for change (individuals, organizations, and environments) and multiple approaches to change, including education, community organization, and regulatory and environmental reforms; and |

A local health department is classified as having a culturally appropriate and linguistically competent community program in the specific health area targeted by the objective if it indicated that in the past year: |
||
|
|
(1) it provided programs or interventions in the specific health area targeted by the objective (in the first question above); |
||
|
|
(2) the programs were adapted and/or provided to meet special language needs of racial/ethnic minorities (in the second question above); and, |
||
|
|
(3) the programs were adapted and/or provided to address cultural differences of racial/ethnic minorities (in the third question above). |

Local health departments eligible for inclusion in this objective are those for which either the American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian/Pacific Islander, black/African American, or Hispanic populations comprise at least 10 percent of the total population in their jurisdiction. |
||
|
|
This objective currently is being tracked in local health departments in which a racial or ethnic group constitutes at least 10 percent of the population. In future studies, by utilizing census data, local health departments that serve communities in which at least 3,000 people in the county indicate that their primary language is other than English or a similar population meets the concentration standards of 1,000 in a single zip code or 1,500 in two contiguous zip codes also should be measured. |
