Abstract
How did the authors measure physical activity at work?
They calculated energy expended at work by surveying participants
They computed energy spent as a function of one’s employment category
They estimated this based on the age of participants
This value was available in the data set
Which of the following data sets is used in the analysis?

The National Health Interview Survey
National Health Interview Survey linked Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data
American Community Survey
According to the authors, workplace health promotion programs potentially improves employment outcomes for people with disabilities by:

Reducing the prevalence of secondary health conditions
All of the above
Which of the following indicators of health and health behavior contributed most to the higher healthcare expenditures among employed people with disabilities?
Diagnosis of cardiovascular disease
Diagnosis of respiratory disease
Obesity
Lack of exercise
Which of the followings strategies were recommended in the paper for improving participation of employed people with disabilities in workplace health promotion programs?

None of the above
8. Results from the present study found that participants in motivational and volitional groups were separated into the following stages:

11. The research discussed in this article:
Focused on evaluating a health promotion intervention to increase physical activity and exercise for people with spinal cord injury

Control beliefs
