Research at the Health Promotion Program
The faculty and professional staff of the Health Promotion Program and the National Center for Health Fitness have been involved in research for the last twenty years. They were one of the first to have examined the relationship between participation in corporate health promotion and the costs associated with health care utilization, absenteeism, productivity, and health risks. The research was based on data obtained over the years at the Army Materiel Command Health Promotion Program and other NCHF contracts. This research has been presented in national and international forums. All students have the opportunity to be involved in research at the DHF/NCHF, by working with one of the full-time graduate faculty.
