Abstract

BACKGROUND:

For employees with chronic health conditions the decision of whether or not to disclose their condition to colleagues or supervisors is both far reaching and hard to make.

OBJECTIVE:

Collaborating with a panel of experts on their own behalf, we developed a web-based self-test to provide easily accessible decision support for those who are not (yet) ready for personal counseling.

METHODS:

This report provides an overview of the web-based self-test supporting an informed disclosure decision in the workplace.

RESULTS:

The self-test consists of a series of questions about the user’s personal situation. In order to reach a broad target-group it is applicable across health conditions and is made available online.

CONCLUSION:

Unlike other existing web-based offers the self-test is interactive, considers the personal situation of the user and provides individualized feedback that refers to additional resources (e.g., personal counselling).
