Promoting Employee Health Through The Worksite Food Environment
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Personalized nutrition feedback for Weight and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 602 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This project tests a scalable and sustainable approach to weight gain prevention in a population of employees by using the worksite environment to deliver personalized feedback about worksite food purchases, daily calorie goals, social norms for healthy eating, and financial incentives for healthy food purchases. In the future, similar strategies could be adopted by other worksites, institutions, and food retailers and could contribute to the long-term environmental and social changes needed to reverse the obesity epidemic in the United States and worldwide. The overall objective of ancillary studies added on to this project is to examine the psychological traits, cognitive skills, and genes that may influence the impact of the behavioral intervention to promote healthy diet and weight among employees at a large hospital worksite.
