Overview
This is a 2-arm group-randomized hybrid effectiveness-implementation (HEI type 2) study to test an evidence-based intervention (EBI) known as Stand & Move at Work(SMW) to reduce sedentary time in the workplace, and to test the role of expert facilitation (SMW+) for improving intervention fidelity.
Description
Primary Aim: To assess worksite-level reduction in sedentary time and intervention fidelity over 12 months Secondary Aim: To assess cost effectiveness of the intervention at 12 and 24 months
Eligibility
Worksite-Level Inclusion Criteria:
- More than 80% of employees work full time (30+ hours per week).
- At least 45 employees in the worksite with sit-stand workstations working at least three days per week
- Occupations require primarily desk-based work (e.g., computer- and telephone-based)
- Willing to allow the researchers to distribute online research surveys to all employees in order to allow the program to be evaluated.
- Allow 30 randomly selected individuals to wear an activity monitor in several 7-day intervals across two years.
- Willing to be randomized to either intervention.
- Willing to identify one or more worksite champions to implement the Stand & Move at Work⢠program.
Worksite-level exclusion criteria:
- Involved in previous interventions to reduce sitting and increase standing and moving at work in the last 24 months.
- Involved in the Stand and Move I intervention.
- Another worksite within the same organization is participating in the program and contamination across those worksites cannot be avoided.
Employee-level inclusion criteria:
- 18 years or older
- Willing to provide informed consent
