Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The project is designed to test the effectiveness of a multilevel worksite wellness program, based in Rhode Island and nearby neighboring states to impact employee weight, dietary intake and physical activity, compared to an attention placebo condition.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Accomplishment of the specific aim will be determined by a two group randomized effectiveness study (Treatment vs. Comparison) utilizing 24 RI worksites with randomization by site. The specific impact and outcome evaluation measures (BMI, DHQ-FFQ, and 7-day PAR) will be collected at Baseline, 12, and 24 months on a longitudinal cohort selected at random from the employee lists of each participating worksite. Extensive process evaluation and a mediating variable framework are also included to identify the mechanisms in successful change at both the worksite and individual level, which will maximize the potential for dissemination and generalization of the intervention as well as advance theory and improve intervention practice and policy.

Primary outcome measure will be weight (BMI).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

T

Treatment arm comprises one worksite in a matched site pair; one site assigned to treatment, the other site assigned to comparison. Treatment site worksite-based health promotion activities such as self-directed campaigns, lectures, small group programs, online programs, environment interventions (food service and physical)--all with focus on nutrition, physical activity and/or weight management.
