Next Life "Step": Identifying Our Health Risks

A new interactive LifeSteps tool for all U.S. employees is launching Monday, Nov. 15: the personal health assessment. It will help you identify and understand any health risks you may face, so you will be better able to make lifestyle changes to improve your well-being.

Starting Monday, Nov. 15, you'll find the personal health assessment tool in the LifeSteps Online section of Employee Services on MyStandard. It will also be available to you from home or anywhere you have Internet access through www.asdlifesteps.com. The assessment will take about 15 minutes to complete - and if you complete yours early, you'll have the chance to win a great raffle prize.

The personal health assessment will be available to all U.S. employees and their adult dependents (a spouse or eligible domestic partner)

If you complete your personal health assessment by Dec. 15, 2004, you can enroll in a raffle for these prizes:

  • American Express gift checks valued at $100 to $500

  • $50 gift certificates to Barnes&Noble.com, one of our E-Mall vendors

The raffle is also open to spouses or eligible domestic partners. To increase your chances of winning a raffle prize, encourage your spouse or eligible domestic partner to complete their own assessment and enter the raffle by Dec. 15. Their raffle entry means one more chance for you to win! (Please note: Spouses and eligible domestic partners are not eligible to win a raffle prize themselves. But by completing their own assessment and entering the raffle, they'll get you another chance to win a prize.)

The personal health assessment asks various questions about your health, such as cholesterol and blood pressure, and lifestyle habits, such as how frequently you exercise. The answers to these questions will help identify your health risks.

Once you complete the assessment, you'll receive a confidential, personalized report summarizing the results based on the responses you provided. You can use this information to reduce your health risks by working with a LifeSteps health coach. Your health coach can help you address your health risks before they become serious problems.

Look for a packet in the mail at home with all the details on the personal health assessment. Don't delay, complete it today – and get in on the raffles! You can also look for more LifeSteps educational resources and opportunities in the coming months, including incentives when you and your family complete certain educational programs or commit to healthy and safe practices.

A note about confidentiality
Keep in mind that personal health assessment results, as well as any personal information you or your family members provide, are protected by federal and state privacy laws.
