Small employers, especially those in low-wage industries, frequently lack the capacity and resources to implement evidence-based health promotion interventions without support and assistance. The purpose of this paper is to (a) describe the intervention design and study protocol of the HealthLinks Trial and (b) report baseline findings. This study is a three-arm randomized controlled trial testing the impact of the HealthLinks intervention on worksites' adoption and implementation of evidence-based interventions. Group 1 will receive HealthLinks, Group 2 will receive HealthLinks plus wellness committees, and Group 3 will be a delayed control group. Seventy-eight employers are participating in the study; and 3302 employees across the worksites participated in the baseline data collection. Employers and employees will participate in follow-up surveys at one and two years after baseline to measure implementation (one year) and maintenance (two years) of HealthLinks interventions. Study outcomes will determine whether HealthLinks is an effective approach to increasing evidence-based health promotion in small, low-wage worksites and whether wellness committees are a capacity-building tool that increases HealthLinks' effectiveness.
小型雇主，尤其是那些处于低薪行业的雇主，在没有支持和援助的情况下，往往缺乏实施循证健康促进干预措施的能力和资源。本文的目的是：（a）描述“健康联系试验”的干预设计和研究方案；（b）报告基线研究结果。本研究是一项三臂随机对照试验，旨在测试“健康联系”干预措施对工作场所采用和实施循证干预措施的影响。第一组将接受“健康联系”干预，第二组将接受“健康联系”干预并设立健康委员会，第三组将作为延迟对照组。78家雇主参与了该研究；各工作场所的3302名员工参与了基线数据收集。雇主和员工将在基线后的一年和两年参与随访调查，以衡量“健康联系”干预措施的实施情况（一年）和维持情况（两年）。研究结果将确定“健康联系”是否是在小型低薪工作场所增加循证健康促进的有效方法，以及健康委员会是否是提高“健康联系”有效性的能力建设工具。
