Overweight - Obese |
| Purpose: |
|
The proposal of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two worksite weight management
programs at Duke: Steps to Health (STH) ('usual standard of care') and the more extensive
Steps to Health Plus! (STH+).
|
| Study Summary: |
|
Steps to Health and Steps to Health Plus! aim to help Duke employees achieve weight loss and
maintain healthy weights. We will be following participants in these programs over a two
year period. These two groups will be compared with an observational comparison group of
employees who meet eligibility criteria but do not take part in the randomized controlled
trial. We will assess whether the two programs decrease obesity-related injuries in the
workplace and estimate the net costs of the two programs relative to their effectiveness
more broadly.
