Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to implement and evaluate a two-year multi-component environmental intervention to prevent weight gain among city bus drivers at four bus garages
It is hypothesized that transit employees in the intervention garages will gain less weight compared to the transit employees in the control garages
It is hypothesized that transit employees in the intervention garages will gain less weight compared to the transit employees in the control garages
Detailed Description:
BACKGROUND
Environmental influences that support less healthful food choices and sedentary behaviors have contributed to the epidemic increase in overweight and obesity among US adults Worksite settings are an effective channel through which to reach adults with interventions designed to prevent excess weight gain and obesity
DESIGN NARRATIVE
This study will implement and evaluate a multi-component environmental intervention to prevent excess weight gain among 1200 bus drivers working in four garages in a major metropolitan area Four garages will be randomized to the intervention or control group for a two-year period The environmental interventions are based on a social ecological framework and target four worksite environmental areas 1 food availability and incentives 2 physical activity opportunities and incentives 3 the social environment and 4 mediapromotion related to health food choices physical activity and body weight
