To evaluate a digitally delivered, intensive behavioral counseling program for a workforce at risk for obesity-related chronic disease.
Employees were offered a digital health program modeled after the diabetes prevention program (DPP). Annual workforce health assessments were used to examine changes in chronic disease risk factors between participants (n = 634) relative to a matched comparison group (n = 1268).
Overall, employees were gaining an average of 3.5 pounds annually before program inception. Program engagement was positive; 83% completed the majority of the curriculum and 31% lost at least 5% of their starting weight. Compared with non-participating peers, participants demonstrated reduced weight, improved fasting blood glucose, and improved nutritional intake after a year.
The digital health program was effective for engaging employees in health behavior change. Digital options facilitate widespread implementation.
评估一个针对有肥胖相关慢性病风险的劳动力的数字传输强化行为咨询计划。
向员工提供一个模仿糖尿病预防计划(DPP)的数字健康计划。利用年度劳动力健康评估,考察参与者(n=634)相对于匹配对照组(n=1268)的慢性疾病风险因素变化。
总体而言,员工在项目启动前平均每年增重 3.5 磅。项目参与度呈积极态势;83%的人完成了大部分课程,31%的人至少减掉了起始体重的 5%。与未参与的同事相比,参与者在一年后体重减轻、空腹血糖改善和营养摄入增加。
数字健康计划有效地促使员工参与健康行为改变。数字选择促进了广泛的实施。
