参加美国福利过渡方案的妇女有很高比例的慢性健康问题，这可能对获得和/或维持就业构成重大障碍。在美国各地的WT Ps中，不充分的标准化健康检查加剧了弱势妇女实现自给自足的问题。这项研究以社区参与性研究为框架，目的是编制一份符合文化特点和敏感的健康检查问卷，供参加妇女贸易方案的妇女使用。进行了三轮焦点小组（n = 10），共有61名妇女。焦点小组访谈的分析不仅揭示了被确定为对健康重要的内容领域，而且还揭示了管理该工具所涉及的关键过程问题。过程和内容之间的区别是一项关键的调查结果，因为它不仅强调了向妇女提出什么问题的重要性，而且强调了如何、何时和由谁向妇女提出问题的重要性。
Women in United States Welfare Transition Programs (WTPs) have high rates of chronic health problems that might present significant barriers to obtaining and/or maintaining employment. Inadequate, standardized health screening in WTPs across the United States contributes to the problem of achieving self-sufficiency for disadvantaged women. Using community-based participatory research as a framework, the study's purpose was to develop a culturally relevant and sensitive health screening questionnaire that would be acceptable for use with women enrolled in WTPs. Three rounds of focus groups (n = 10) were conducted with a total of 61 women. Analysis of focus group interviews revealed not only content areas identified as important to health, but critical process issues involved in administering the tool. The distinction between process and content was a critical finding because it stressed the importance of not only what women were asked, but how, when, and by whom they were asked.
