The workplace has evolved as a venue for health promotion programs that attempt to reduce employees' risk behaviors and encourage positive health practices. There is little information about the efficacy of such programs for selected subpopulations of employees. Questionnaires designed to measure health practices were administered before and 10 weeks after a work-site health screening. Results indicated that subpopulations had distinctly different patterns of health behaviors both before and after the health screening, and the pattern of variability was inconsistent across various health practices. In general, females and salaried employees had healthier practices than males and hourly employees, respectively. Several interesting interactions between participation status and gender and occupational status need further investigation. Understanding health behaviors of subpopulations may provide insights for implementation of work-site programs that will enhance health-promoting behaviors of all employees.
