This study investigated employee and worksite characteristics prospectively predictive of participation among 474 smokers in nine different worksites taking part in a year-long incentive-based smoking cessation program. Several different ways of defining participation (e.g., joining versus level of attendance, first 6 months versus entire program) were studied. A consistent pattern of results was observed across two of the participation indices, joining the program and participating in one or more monthly follow-up meetings. Both worksite (number of employees, previous health promotion history, degree of support from management) and employee (gender, motivation, previous quit attempts) variables were predictive of participation. Logistic regression analyses revealed that each set of variables, worksite and employee characteristics, was significantly related to participation after controlling for the effects of the other set. We were less able to predict level of attendance among participants who joined the program. Implications of these findings for future studies of participation in health promotion programs are discussed.
本研究前瞻性地调查了474名吸烟者所在的九个不同工作场所中,与参与一项为期一年的基于激励措施的戒烟计划相关的员工和工作场所特征。研究了几种不同的定义参与度的方式(例如,加入计划与出勤水平、前6个月与整个计划)。在两个参与指标(加入计划以及参加一次或多次月度随访会议)上观察到了一致的结果模式。工作场所变量(员工数量、先前的健康促进历史、管理层的支持程度)和员工变量(性别、动机、先前的戒烟尝试)均能预测参与情况。逻辑回归分析显示,在控制了另一组变量的影响后,每组变量(工作场所和员工特征)均与参与情况显著相关。对于已加入该计划的参与者,我们较难预测其出勤水平。讨论了这些发现对未来健康促进计划参与度研究的启示。
