METHODS: An expert group conducted an environmental scan, generating a list (n�=�18) which was ultimately reduced to 12, based on the inclusion of PA and/or sedentary behavior data. RESULTS: The 12 surveys or surveillance systems summarized provide nationally representative data on occupational-level PA or individual-level PA at work, data on active commuting, some are scorecards that summarize workplace health best practices and allow benchmarking, and one is a comprehensive nationally representative survey of employers assessing programs and practices in different worksites. CONCLUSIONS: The various surveillance systems and surveys/scorecards are disparate and need to be better analyzed and summarized to understand the impact of occupational-level PA and commuting on population health and well-being, life expectancy, and workforce productivity.<p> 18943 32166 Physical activity surveillance in the United States for work and commuting: understanding the impact on population health and well-being Occupational Health 12 Surveillance
