Abstract
IntroductionFew measures can comprehensively explore the extent to which individuals are able to effectively identify areas of concern, create a personalized health action plan and target these areas for improvement. Thus, the aim of this paper was to validate the Health Skills Profile (HSP©) as a measure for assessing health-related skills and explore the relationship between the HSP skills with existing validated measures. MethodParticipants completed a battery of self-report measures (including validated measures and visual analogue scales [VAS] that relate to each of the health-related skills) and the HSP measure online. ResultsWe explored the association between each skill within the HSP with their corresponding validated measure. We found a significant positive relationship between the HSP skills and the validated measures. Further, we found a significant positive relationship between the HSP skills and the corresponding VAS. ConclusionThese findings suggest that the HSP can be combined with other assessment data to develop more complete personalized profiles of individual and organizational health and health behaviors.
