Health risk assessments (HRAs) have the potential to play a key role in health promotion and disease prevention both at an individual and a population level. While the idea has been around since the 1950s and HRAs are commonly performed in the workplace, they have not been as readily adopted by the US health-care system. Several challenges must be addressed before broader uptake of HRAs in clinical care can occur: (1) usability for providers, (2) usability for patients, (3) quality of patient-entered data, and (4) impact on health outcomes. In this chapter, we describe recent developments in HRA design that are aimed at addressing these issues.
