HEALTH ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
Answer yes or no to each question
in all five categories. If the statement
is sometimes or usually true, do not answer yes until the statement is ALWAYS
true for you. If the statement does not
apply to you, disregard it.
How long it takes you
to complete the program is up to you.

in a place
where you will see it often as a reminder to keep working on it.
