“…25,[28][29][30][31] Promising targets of the food environment that have been associated with diabetes risk in observational studies include approaches to increase fruit, vegetable, and whole-grain intake, and to reduce portion sizes and sweetened beverages. 27,30 Several strategies have been proposed for the food environment, including better food and menu labeling, and incentives for communities to support diverse healthy foods through farmers' markets and other diverse groceries.…”

There are as many as 79 million people in the U.S. with prediabetes, and their risk of developing type 2 diabetes is four to 12 times higher than it is for people with normal glucose tolerance. Although advances in diabetes treatment are still needed, there is a critical need to implement effective strategies to stem the current and projected growth in new cases of type 2 diabetes. RCTs and translation studies have demonstrated that type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed in those at high risk, through a structured lifestyle intervention that can be delivered cost effectively. In order to bring this compelling lifestyle intervention to communities across America, Congress authorized the CDC to establish and lead the National Diabetes Prevention Program. Several aspects of the etiology of type 2 diabetes suggest that strategies addressing both those at high risk and the general population are necessary to make a major impact on the diabetes epidemic.

“…The traditional HRA predominantly screens for risk factors to produce an individual health risk profile and contains feedback that includes information regarding personal risk factor levels as compared to the general population [6]. However, reviews of the literature did not always support effectiveness of the traditional HRA [6,7].…”

“…It was theorized that HRA with feedback that merely contains risk information would be insufficient to promote health [8]. Furthermore, the impact of the traditional HRA remained unsatisfying as a consequence of suboptimal delivery due to resource constraints, limited access to high risk populations and lack in uniformity [6,7]. It was acknowledged that HRA programs could be enhanced to increase awareness of risk and affect health-behavior change, by web-based delivery and with incorporation of tailored health recommendations [8][9][10][11].…”

“…4 Faced with the exponential growth of health costs, many employers are implementing evidence-based health promotion programs, including individual risk reduction programs, connected to environmental support for healthy behaviors, coordinated and integrated into other activities related to wellbeing, which has been shown to be the most efficient strategy to reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases. [5][6][7] Several studies have concluded that health promotion programs in the workplace can improve employee health and reduce the health expenditure of employers. [8][9][10] In North America, 76% of companies have some kind of health promotion program.…”

Objective: Despite the progress in the implementation of health promotion programs in the workplace, there are no questionnaires in Brazil to assess the scope of health promotion interventions adopted and their scientific basis. This study aimed to translate into Brazilian Portuguese and culturally adapt the CDC Worksite Health ScoreCard (HSC) questionnaire. Method: The HSC has 100 questions grouped into twelve domains. The steps are as follows: translation, reconciliation, back-translation, review by expert panel, pretesting, and final revision. The convenience sample included 27 individuals from health insurance providers and companies of various sizes, types and industries in São Paulo. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The average age of the sample was 38 years, most of the subjects were female (21 of 27), and were responsible for programs to promote health in these workplaces. Most questions were above the minimum value of understanding set at 90%. The participants found the questionnaire very useful to determine the extent of existing health promotion programs and to pinpoint areas that could be developed. Conclusion:The Brazilian Portuguese version of the HSC questionnaire may be a valid measure and useful to assess the degree of implementation of health promotion interventions based on evidence in local health organizations.
