Large gaps in health perceptions vs. reality

Published Updated 5 Min Read

Anew survey from Aon Hewitt, the National Business Group on Health and The Futures Company indicates that many American workers and their families – even those who know what it takes to get and stay healthy – have inaccurate perceptions about their own weight, condition and the cost of their health care. The survey results further indicate satisfaction with, and claims of positive behavior changes associated with, participation in consumer-driven health plans.

More than 2,800 employees and their dependents covered by employer-sponsored health plans were surveyed about their thoughts, attitudes and behaviors toward health and wellness.
