Origins and Credibility of the Health Risk Assessment II

Abstract

The purpose of this case study is to document and describe the origins and credibility of the Health Risk Assessment II (HRA II). The unit of analysis was the HRA I!, version II. The criterion for success was the establishment of a document stating the current level of credibility of the core questions on the HRA II. The results of this study have found 42 of the 76 core behavioral health questions to have either an unknown or poor level of credibility. Thirty four questions were found to have either good or at least fair credibility. Positivist and post-positivist themes are presented as a method of evaluation. A proposition to increase the credibility of future health risk assessments is posited.
