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.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are worksites with a majority of full-time employees engaged in desk-based occupations who are willing to participate in the intervention.
Not a fit: Patients working in organizations that have recently implemented similar interventions or those with fewer than 45 employees may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly reduce sedentary behavior among employees, leading to improved health outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promise in reducing sedentary behavior through similar workplace interventions, indicating a potential for success in this approach.
Eligibility criteria
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
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
