Training Local Health Departments to Disseminate Evidence-Based Interventions to Small and Low-Wage Worksites
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Connect to Wellness for Health Behavior. Completed, enrolled 69 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The proposed project will advance implementation science by comparing the effectiveness of different levels of technical support in an important but understudied community-based setting: local health departments. The proposed project will also bring Connect to Wellness, an evidence-based approach to disseminating evidence-based interventions and providing implementation support to small worksites, to 40 local health departments and worksites in their communities across the United States. Findings will identify the best approach for national scale-up of Connect to Wellness.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The research team will train LHD staff and offer them technical assistance to work with small worksites. LHD staff will be trained to deliver the Connect to Wellness program to worksites. Connect to Wellness is a program to disseminate EBIs to small worksites. Worksites receive guidance about EBIs and ongoing implementation assistance from a trained interventionist. In this study, LHD staff will be the interventionists. Worksites participating in Connect to Wellness complete three phases of activities, Assessment, Recommendations, and Implementation. LHD staff will receive Connect to Wellness intervention materials, multiple webinars delivered in real-time, access to a comprehensive intervention and training platform with features that allow them to connect with each other and with research staff, and group technical assistance calls to support their ability to recruit worksites in their communities and deliver Connect to Wellness to these worksites.
