Evaluation Summary 

Narrative Description of Evaluation Results
An in-house, integrated data management system is used to collect, analyze and report program results including enrollment, utilization, customer satisfaction and behavior change outcomes. The data show that nearly 80% (N=l2,317) of all home office employees have participated in one or more Aenhance behavior change programs. More than 50% (N=8151) of home office employees have completed the health risk assessment and each year about 56% (N=8,840) participate in health education workshops.

Aenhance behavior change programs have resulted in a significant increase in participants' confidence for performing positive health behaviors. Self-efficacy scores of participants in health education programs (N= 2,825) increased by an average of 77%. Follow up evaluation results found self-efficacy to be a reliable predictor of actual behavior change.

Pre and post health risk assessment data suggest a significant reduction in health risks and a significant improvement in health practices for participants identified at risk (N=l,844).

Follow up evaluation results suggest that health education programs can yield significant cost savings. The Aenhance medical self-care program has shown a cost savings of $61,294 for 1,797 participants, representing three dollars saved for every dollar of program cost. Self-reported health risk data also suggest that improvements in health practices may contribute to significant cost savings through reduced health care costs and lower absenteeism. Participants with low-fat diets (N=561) reported fewer days of hospital stay and fewer days absent from work than participants with high-fat diets (N=352). This suggests that the adoption of positive health practices can yield a potential cost savings of $373,628 per one thousand employees per year.

Customer satisfaction surveys show that 98% of participants rate Aenhance programs as "excellent" and 99% would recommend programs to others. In addition, 87% of participants report that they share program information with friends and family members.
