Cardiovascular Health Surveillance
Cardiovascular health surveillance is responsible for monitoring health outcomes, behaviors, and policies at regular intervals in worksite, community, and health care settings.
Goals
-
To collect information on cardiovascular disease (CVD) for the State of Georgia.
-
To develop tools and collect data on prevention policies and environments affecting preventable risk factors for cardiovascular disease: lack of physical activity, poor nutrition, and tobacco use.
-
To make data reports available to the public and health care professionals.
-
To provide cardiovascular disease morbidity, mortality and prevention policies and environments data to the cardiovascular health program to assist them in developing strategies and evaluating their effectiveness.

2002 Georgia Worksite Health Promotion Policies and Practices Survey
-
The Georgia Worksite Health Promotion Policies and Practices Survey was conducted for the first time in 2002. This cross-sectional survey was adapted from the 1999 National Worksite Health Promotion Survey. The survey consisted of 69 questions relating to worksite policies and environments affecting physical activity, nutrition, and smoking practices of Georgia workers. Topics addressed include screenings, health education or behavior change programs, disease management programs, worksite opportunities for physical activity, healthy eating opportunities at the worksite, smoking policies, and funding of worksite wellness programs.
A stratified random sample of worksites was drawn based on the number of employees and industry type (SIC codes) resulting in 12 categories (4 industry type and 3 employee size categories). Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI) were conducted with the human resources or employee health directors at the selected worksites. A total of 1,085 interviews were completed and the data were weighted so that each stratum represented its true proportion in the worksite population.
