The economic impact of corporate wellness programs: past and future considerations.

1. A primary goal of health promotion is to motivate individuals to make positive life-style changes. 2. Health promotion is multifaceted and each company must select the most appropriate method(s) of intervention for their employees. 3. In any company, a successful health promotion program requires an advocate or champion who functions as the initiator and leader for program development. Employee involvement, from inception to ongoing development of all programs, is also necessary for success. 4. To positively impact health care costs, health promotion programs should be well planned, well timed, and appropriately marketed. Needs of all workers (i.e., blue collar, minorities) should be considered.

Decision story strategy: a practical approach for teaching decision making.

Teachers are usually very enthusiastic in their evaluations of decision stories. Decision Story Strategies offer a change of pace, promote student involvement and stimulate creative thinking, problem solving and everpresent creative teaching-learning opportunities. The real-life problems presented within the structure of a decision story provide meaningful learning opportunities for students. Students begin to think in a broader perspective when considering other points of view and information sources. The Decision Story Strategy used with the Decision-Making Model provides a powerful tool for health educators to develop skills for making and evaluating decisions in an interesting and meaningful context. It may not be a panacea for all health educators, but is an effective strategy for the teacher concerned with developing independent decision makers. Most importantly, students are provided opportunities to solve their present problems as well as develop decision-making skills for the future.

Risk factors for cardiovascular disease among exercising versus non-exercising women.

As expected, overall, women who exercised had lower body weights, BMIs, and lower risk blood profiles than did those who did not exercise, with exceptions occurring only in the 40 to 49 age group for total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure differences were small between exercisers and nonexercisers, but significant overall. Women who exercised perceived their health, feelings of well-being, and energy to accomplish daily tasks as higher and they missed fewer days of work than did their nonexercising counterparts.
