Here in Hamilton-Wentworth (Ontario, Canada) we are working on a "twinning project" with Niagara Region on a Heart Health in the Workplace Project. We want to access the workplace in health promotion, but were astounded to find out that the Heart Health projects around use assessment instruments that have not necessarily been validated or evaluated. Does anyone know of a questionnaire to administer in workplaces for individuals (other than Health Canada's Workplace Health System as this is too broad) but is not necessarily a health risk assessment (HRA) as we see in the US? We are looking for something that has been evaluated and validated for a health needs assessment. We are also looking for an individual environmental assessment - to ask questions like do you have a smoking policy, healthy eating policy , flex time etc. other than the one put together in Nova Scotia?? Any help would be truly appreciated. Regards, AM ______________________________________________________________________________ Alan J.
