Abstract
This document represents an attempt to evaluate the current literature available on worksite wellness, with a specific focus on disability issues. The articles included in this document represent three strands of literature that were investigated in order to understand the intersection of disability and worksite wellness. The issues addressed by these articles include the effectiveness and benefits of worksite wellness/health promotion broadly: health promotion initiatives for people with disabilities, as well as laws that impact disability in workplace wellness programs. In evaluating the literature on these topics, it was noted that there is an array of literature that deals with each of the topics, and that demographic and legal changes have increased the availability of literature addressing these issues. The articles listed and discussed below represent just a fraction of the relevant literature; however, they provide a foundational understanding of these issues and are representative of the larger body of related literature.
