Respondents are asked questions about work and activity impairment due to health problems
There are interviewer and self-administered versions
Six questions measure absenteeism, presenteeism and the impairments in unpaid activity because of health problem during the past seven days
It consists of four metrics:
1) Absenteeism (the percentage of work time missed)
2) Presenteeism (the percentage of impairment experienced while at work)
3) Overall work productivity loss (an estimate of combination of absenteeism and presenteeism)
4) Activity impairment (the percentage of impairment in daily activities)
Only those being employed provided answer for absenteeism, presenteeism, and overall work impairment
Description of the items:
> Item 1 = current employment status
> Item 2 = hours missed due to health problems in last 7 days
> item 3 = hours missed due to other reasons in last 7 days
> Item 4 = hours actually worked in last 7 days
> Item 5 = degree health affected productivity while working in last 7 days (using a 0 to 10 Visual Analogue Scale (VAS))
> Item 6 = degree health affected productivity in regular unpaid activities (VAS) in last 7 days
Coding & Scoring:
> WPAI scores are based on 1-item (presenteeism, activity impairment), 2-items (absenteeism) and multiple items (overall work productivity); a score cannot be calculated if there is a missing response to the corresponding item.
> There are separate coding rules for interviewer and self-administration
> WPAI outcomes are expressed as impairment percentages, with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity
WPAI-GH scores were positively correlated with other measurements of work productivity and activity impairment
Data generated by interviewer-administration of the WPAI had higher construct validity and fewer omissions than that obtained by self-administration of the instrument.
Two versions of WPAI are available:
> WPAI-SHP is most appropriate for limited or local conditions (e.g. chronic hand dermatitis)
> WPAI-GH can be utilized to assess diseases such as diabetes and multiple sclerosis
WPAI has been translated into over 80 languages

Considerations

Some individuals with severe symptoms or problems do not consistently report their symptom impairment as a health impairment and this inconsistency of response affected the validity and reproducibility testing.
Different ethnic groups may respond to the term 'health' differently
It is not proven whether the subjects with lower schooling levels would have been able to answer the questionnaire in the self-administered form.

Workers With Diagnosed and Undiagnosed Depression: (Asami et al., 2015; n = 17,820 workers responding to the 2011 National Health & Wellness Survey in Japan; male = 62%; mean age = 44.19 (12.80); Absenteeism and overall work impairment analyses included 16,906 of the total workers, while presenteeism included 17,428; Japanese versions of the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) Questionnaire and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9))

The interaction between PHQ-9 scores and depression diagnosis was not significant for absenteeism, but was significant for overall work impairment, presenteeism, and activity impairment (all p < 0.01).
Adjusted mean percentage impairments per subgroup indicate the effects of PHQ-9 on productivity were in all cases stronger in the undiagnosed than in the diagnosed group, respectively.
- For overall work impairment, among the undiagnosed, the PHQ-9 score of 10 or more vs. less than 10 was associated with 33.3% vs. 14.8% (i.e., 2.25 times as much) impairment, respectively, while among the diagnosed, the difference was 51.9% vs. 33.0% (1.57 times as much.
- For absenteeism, among those with undiagnosed depression, PHQ-9 scores of 10 or more vs. less than 10 were associated with 5.9% vs. 2.2% absenteeism (2.72 times as much), while among those with diagnosed depression, the difference was 16.0% vs. 8.0% (2.00 times as much), adjusting for covariates.
- For presenteeism, among the undiagnosed, PHQ-9 scores of 10 or more vs. less than 10 were associated with 30.4% vs. 13.4% presenteeism (2.26 times as much), while among the diagnosed, the difference was 45.2% vs. 28.7% (1.58 times as much).
- On average, the above results imply a greater burden of depression among the undiagnosed.
