Worksite wellness program to reduce sedentary behavior

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Stand & Move at Work program, which aims to reduce sedentary time in the workplace through a hybrid effectiveness-implementation approach. It involves a group-randomized design where worksites will be assigned to either the intervention or a control group. The primary focus is on assessing reductions in sedentary behavior and the fidelity of the intervention over a 12-month period, while also evaluating the cost-effectiveness of the program at 12 and 24 months. The study will utilize expert facilitation to enhance the implementation of the program.
