Measures and measurement tools for studying total worker health®
Payne, J., DePriest, K., Daniel, C., Booth, A., Ruppert, S., McArthur, R., Bray, J., Kneipp, S., & Linnan, L. (2025). Measures and measurement tools for studying total worker health®. Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 67(6), 404-413. https://doi.org/10.1097/JOM.0000000000003348
ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to identify survey, interview, and observational measures and measurement tools to assess constructs associated with Total Worker Health (TWH)MethodsWe conducted a scoping review to identify articles that presented or evaluated measures and tools associated with worker health, safety, and well-being. We supplemented this review with a scan of National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's TWH website and those of the Centers of Excellence for TWH. We extracted information about the measures and tools, including descriptive attributes, substantive focus, and evidence of psychometric evaluation.ResultsWe identified 102 measures and tools. Substantively, many addressed the conditions of work and worker safety, health, and well-being outcomes. Ten measures and tools did not have an available psychometric evaluation.ConclusionsThis work advances the science of TWH by identifying available measures and tools that researchers and practitioners can use when designing, implementing, and evaluating future studies.
