Data & Surveillance

CDC’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Division of Population Health funds the Workplace Health in America survey.

RTI International (www.rti.org) is working with CDC to collect these data. RTI is an independent, nonprofit research organization located in Research Triangle Park, NC.

You have been contacted by one of RTI’s trained representatives, who is available to answer your questions and concerns. Because we are committed to providing you with the highest quality of service, RTI supervisors may monitor a sample of these calls.

Our project’s statisticians selected your worksite from a list containing nearly every business and institution in the U.S. Your participation will help us represent a range of worksites varying in size, industry, and region.

Absolutely NOT! This is not a market study and we are not selling anything.

We are asking the person from your worksite who knows the most about employee health programs and benefits offered to complete the online Workplace Health in America survey, using the link and access code the RTI representative emailed to you.

Every workplace will benefit from this survey’s findings. Your input will help to inform the development of tools and resources to support workplace health programs, guide public policy, and advance workplace health promotion research.

The survey consists of questions about the type of worksite you have and the health programs, benefits, policies and supports in place. The questions are “yes/no” and multiple-choice format.

Your participation is voluntary. However, you are a critical part of this data collection project. You have the opportunity to provide direct input to CDC that will guide the work moving forward.

It can take up to 20 minutes to complete the survey. For some employers, it will take less time. If you want to take a break, you can close the survey and start at the place where you stopped by re-entering your access code.

Absolutely. No identifying information about you or your worksite will be published or released in any form to anyone outside the research team. We do not use names in our results. We will combine your data with data from other participants to produce nationally representative results.
