Information on the Health Risk Appraisal

The HRA is a scientific tool that provides individuals with a report on their health risks, based on their answers to the HRA questions. The appraisal takes approximately 10 minutes to complete, and all individual information is kept confidential.

Employers can encourage employees to complete an HRA by providing them with directions. Individuals can print two reports: one for their record and one to give to their healthcare provider during their next visit. Advice and links to general health information are also provided along with the individual report.

Employers can request a group number that employees will use when completing the HRA. The group number will be used to generate worksite-specific aggregate reports. If you need a group number, read our "How to obtain a Group number for the HRA" page. Again, the individual's information is confidential; employers will only be able to receive a group aggregate report, and not specific information on an individual.
