Detailed Description

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

This study adopts a randomised control trial design and is mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative). The outcome data from the trial is quantitative. Alongside this a qualitative process evaluation will be conducted to inform the intervention, explain trial results and understand the intervention implementation and context (Cathain et al. 2014). Two worksites will participate in this study, in line with COCHRANE recommendations for randomised control trials.

Study Groups

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

multi-component intervention

Sit-stand workstation provision

The multi-component intervention will align with the World Health Authority's promotion of a healthy workplace model, which emphasises that best-practice workplace health interventions should involve an integrated approach involving organisation and individual level approaches to behaviour change (WHO, 2010). Thus, participants will receive a sit-stand workstation with additional support to use the sit-stand workstation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Sit-stand workstation provision

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The research compares the effects of a sit-stand workstation only and a multi-component sit-stand workstation intervention including individual and organisation-level approaches, with usual office-based working practice (no sit-stand workstation) over 12 months.

Sit-stand workstation only

Sit-stand workstation provision

Participants in this arm will receive a sit-stand workstation. They will not receive any support to use the sit-stand workstation, except some health and safety advice upon installation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Sit-stand workstation provision

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The research compares the effects of a sit-stand workstation only and a multi-component sit-stand workstation intervention including individual and organisation-level approaches, with usual office-based working practice (no sit-stand workstation) over 12 months.

Usual practice (seated workstation)

This arm is the control group. They will continue to use their usual seated workstation for the duration of the study.
