Worksite intervention for health behavior change has attracted much recent interest as a potentially cost-effective way to promote healthier behaviors in the general population. In evaluating the impact of health promotion activities, it is essential to consider the entire work force rather than just self-selected participants. Overall, recruitment results reported to date have varied widely. There are a large number of factors pertaining to both employee and worksite characteristics that could contribute to variability in how well worksite health promotion programs attract employees. A critical issue that has received little research attention is the dynamics of participation in employee health promotion programs as they are offered repeatedly over time. The present study examined participation rates and contributing factors in worksite health promotion programs for weight loss and smoking cessation in the Healthy Worker Project, a randomized trial of worksite intervention conducted among 16 intervention and 16 control worksites in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area between 1987 and 1990. Data analyses focused on characterizing individuals enrolling in worksite health promotion programs in comparison to those in the worksite population as a whole who would be considered in need of such programs.
工作场所健康行为改变干预作为一种在普通人群中促进更健康行为的潜在成本效益高的方式，最近引起了广泛关注。在评估健康促进活动的影响时，考虑整个劳动力群体而不仅仅是自行选择的参与者至关重要。总体而言，迄今为止报告的招募结果差异很大。有大量与员工和工作场所特征相关的因素可能导致工作场所健康促进计划吸引员工的效果存在差异。一个很少受到研究关注的关键问题是随着时间的推移反复提供员工健康促进计划时参与的动态情况。本研究在“健康工作者项目”中考察了工作场所减肥和戒烟健康促进计划的参与率及影响因素，该项目是一项在明尼阿波利斯/圣保罗大都市地区的16个干预工作场所和16个对照工作场所进行的工作场所干预随机试验，时间跨度为1987年至1990年。数据分析的重点是将参加工作场所健康促进计划的个体与整个工作场所中被认为需要此类计划的人群进行特征描述比较。
