Introduction

Thank you in advance for completing the Health Risk Assessment (HRA), which is an important part of the YCT Wellness Incentive Program. Our Wellness Program is interested in your health and wellness, and the quality of your medical care. Please select only one response per question. 

The HRA is a screening tool used to identify potential risk factors that can affect your health and quality of life.  Risk factors are things that increase or decrease the risk of developing a disease. They can be lifestyle factors such as diet and activity level, environmental factors such as air pollution, or personal characteristics such as family history, race, or age.

The HRA is not a substitute for a checkup or physical exam that you get from a doctor or nurse. However, it can give you some ideas for lowering your risk factors.   

The information you share in your HRA is private. Only the YCT Wellness Coordinator will have access to the results, and these results will be in aggregate data form only.  No names will be used.  We cannot and will not give anyone else your HRA information.  Completing your HRA does not affect where or from whom you can seek care.
