Worksite Health Promotion

Catalog description

This course is designed to provide students with practical information about the planning, development and implementation of health promotion programming in workplace settings and the benefits these programs have for both employees and employers. Students will review various health risk appraisals and plan theory-based incentive programs designed to promote wellness oriented health literate lifestyles. Class content and activities will relate primarily to worksite health promotion, but the course also will have relevance for students pursuing other professional outlets since health behavior change is critical in most health and exercise related professions.
