POWERPLAY Phase 2: Development and Evaluation in Male-dominated Workplaces

POWERPLAY: Building Employee Health and Safety Through Prevention in Male-dominated Workplaces

With funding from the Alberta Ministry of Labour (Grant #095244772), a program called POWERPLAY (www.powerplayatwork.com), designed to promote men's health at work, will be evaluated in workplaces in Alberta.

In year 1, this project includes two main research components: 1. A pragmatic (real world) study will be conducted employing a quasi-experimental (not a randomized controlled trial), before and after design to evaluate the effectiveness of the POWERPLAY program. 2. An integrated set of research activities (systematic review, sleep behaviors and consultation groups) will be used to provide the basis for developing recommendations for promoting sleep health in male-dominated workplaces, and inform the development and testing of a POWERPLAY sleep health module (REST-UP) in Year 2.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Men employed in participating workplaces, full-time or part-time, in any position within the organizations.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Although females may participate in the POWERPLAY program and surveys, they will not be included in the evaluation.
