Health plans often use health risk appraisals (HRAs) as a startingpoint in engaging members in behavioral change. The authors examine characteristicsassociated with the voluntary completion of HRAs among enrolleesin employer-sponsored insurance plans. They compare health careuse, costs and participation in disease management programsfor HRA completers and similar enrollees in plans that do notoffer an HRA. Women, healthier people and people in consumer-drivenhealth plans (CDHPs) are more likely than others to completean HRA. Among those who complete an HRA, use of office visits,prescription drugs and cervical cancer screening increasescompared to those who are not offered an HRA.
