- Abstract
The article provides information on a study to assess the effectiveness of the Treatwell worksite intervention program designed to promote dietary changes to reduce the risk of cancer. For this purpose, 16 worksites were randomly assigned to either an intervention or a control condition. Control worksites received no intervention but were monitored for health promotion activities, while intervention worksites received a 15-month intervention based on a theoretical model that integrated community organizing strategies with social learning theory to promote eating behavior change. Interventions were planned following four phases of behavior change, including promotional/motivational approaches, skills training, social support and maintenance.
