The following metrics are included in this report:
Demographics: A summary of AFWC clients' gender, age, and status to describe who is participating in AFWC services, and determine if AFWCs are reaching the intended target population. The primary population for AFWCs is Active Duty Soldiers; however, the mission is also focused on supporting the Health of the Total Force, which includes Family Members, Retirees, Spouses, and Department of Defense (DoD) Civilians. This metric helps to ensure AFWCs are meeting that expectation as an enterprise and at the local installation.
Number of Unique Clients: A count of each individual who participates in at least one AFWC service, including metabolic testing, fitness testing, body composition analysis, biometrics, biofeedback, health coaching, and health education classes. This metric helps to ensure that AFWCs are seeing a variety of unique clients across each installation per quarter.
Number of Client Visits: A count of the overall number of AFWC visits during the reporting period. This metric helps to ensure clients are utilizing health and wellness services.
Utilization Rates: A measure of staff efficiency to determine whether AFWCs are meeting identified performance standards. Health Educators at fully implemented AFWCs (i.e., open for 1 year or longer) are expected to see 8.5 visits per day. This metric helps to ensure that AFWC staff is focused on the quantity, as well as the overall quality of appointments.
Musculoskeletal (MSK) Injury Risk: A measure to determine the extent to which Active Duty Soldiers who visit the AFWC for the first time meet the 2-mile run-time criteria for MSK injury risk. Reducing MSK injury rates among Soldiers remains a priority for Senior Leaders, and the 2-mile run-time criterion was established in order to systematically utilize AFWC services to improve Soldier injury risk and enhance readiness.
Client Satisfaction: A summary of AFWC clients' satisfaction survey data after participating in AFWC services to ensure AFWCs continue to deliver high-quality, standardized services. Client satisfaction rates are associated with the likelihood of clients returning for additional services within the AFWC, and the likelihood that they will refer other program beneficiaries.

Utilization by AD Soldiers Meeting Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) 2-mile Run-Time Criterion for MSK Injury Risk:
