Read the first 7 Health Promotion and Prevention flashcards as text

  1. A COHN is evaluating outcomes of a worksite smoking cessation program. Which outcome is a PROCESS measure rather than an outcome measure?

    Answer: Number of employees who attended cessation classes

    Process measures evaluate program delivery activities (e.g., attendance), while outcome measures assess health results.

  2. The PRECEDE-PROCEED model's 'enabling factors' include:

    Answer: Skills, resources, and accessibility that facilitate behavior

    Enabling factors are the skills, resources, and structural supports that make a health behavior possible.

  3. Which employee group should be prioritized when resources are limited for a worksite cardiovascular disease prevention program?

    Answer: Employees identified as high risk through biometric screenings

    Targeting high-risk individuals identified through biometric screenings maximizes impact by directing limited resources where benefit is greatest.

  4. According to OSHA, what is a key component of an effective workplace health and safety program?

    Answer: Management leadership and worker participation

    OSHA emphasizes that effective programs require both management leadership and meaningful worker participation.

  5. A COHN wants to reduce musculoskeletal disorders among assembly line workers. Which primary prevention strategy is MOST appropriate?

    Answer: Redesigning workstations to fit the range of workers

    Workstation redesign is primary prevention because it eliminates the hazard before injury occurs, rather than responding to symptoms.

  6. In social cognitive theory, 'self-efficacy' in the context of health promotion means:

    Answer: A person's belief in their ability to successfully perform a specific behavior

    Self-efficacy, per Bandura, is the individual's confidence in their capability to execute the behavior needed to achieve a goal.

  7. Which data source would BEST help a COHN identify leading health risks in a workforce for program planning?

    Answer: A combination of workers' compensation data, health risk appraisals, and biometric screenings

    Combining multiple data sources provides a comprehensive picture of workforce health risks, capturing occupational, lifestyle, and clinical factors.
