Stand & Move at Work II: Effectiveness and Implementation of a Worksite Wellness Program

Stand & Move at Work II: Effectiveness and Implementation of a Worksite Wellness Program

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.

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

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
