What happens at a <strong>Healthe</strong> Measures Screening?<br />
Allow about 30 minutes for your screening.<br />

• A tobacco screening is used to screen for tobacco use. The<br />
screening requires you to swab your mouth and top of the<br />
tongue for about 3 minutes.<br />
• Your height, weight, body mass index, waist circumference<br />
and blood pressure will be taken.<br />
• You’ll receive your confidential results from a wellness team<br />
member who will also tell you about the requirements you<br />
need to complete to earn your <strong>Healthe</strong> <strong>Rewards</strong> Credit.<br />
• You will be asked to sign an affidavit, confirming that you have<br />
been tobacco-free for at least six months.<br />
