Stand & Move at Work II: Effectiveness and Implementation of a Worksite Wellness Program

This is a 2-arm group-randomized hybrid effectiveness-implementation (HEI type 2) study to test an evidence-based intervention (EBI) known as Stand & Move at Work(SMW) to reduce sedentary time in the workplace, and to test the role of expert facilitation (SMW+) for improving intervention fidelity.

About this study

Primary Aim: To assess worksite-level reduction in sedentary time and intervention fidelity over 12 months Secondary Aim: To assess cost effectiveness of the intervention at 12 and 24 months

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Worksite-Level Inclusion Criteria:

  • More than 80% of employees work full time (30+ hours per week).
  • At least 45 employees in the worksite with sit-stand workstations working at least three days per week
  • Occupations require primarily desk-based work (e.g., computer- and telephone-based)
  • Willing to allow the researchers to distribute online research surveys to all employees in order to allow the program to be evaluated.
  • Allow 30 randomly selected individuals to wear an activity monitor in several 7-day intervals across two years.
  • Willing to be randomized to either intervention.
  • Willing to identify one or more worksite champions to implement the Stand & Move at Work™ program.

Worksite-level exclusion criteria:

  • Involved in previous interventions to reduce sitting and increase standing and moving at work in the last 24 months.
  • Involved in the Stand and Move I intervention.
  • Another worksite within the same organization is participating in the program and contamination across those worksites cannot be avoided.

Employee-level inclusion criteria:

  • 18 years or older
  • Willing to provide informed consent

Primary outcomes

  1. Changes in posture

    Time frame: Baseline, 3 month, 12 months, and 24 months

    Accelerometer-based (activPAL) sensor fixed to the thigh that measures sitting, standing, and lying down over 7 days.

  2. Competence/Adherence

    Time frame: 3 months

    A questionnaire-based assessment of intervention fidelity completed by study champions (competence and adherence) through an online portal. Based on Likert-scales and interval scales. SCORING RANGE

  3. Competence/Adherence

    Time frame: 12 months

    A questionnaire-based assessment of intervention fidelity completed by study champions (competence and adherence) through an online portal. Based on Likert-scales and interval scales. SCORING RANGE

  4. Competence/Adherence

    Time frame: 24 months

    A questionnaire-based assessment of intervention fidelity completed by study champions (competence and adherence) through an online portal. Based on Likert-scales and interval scales. SCORING RANGE

  5. Intervention Fidelity

    Time frame: 3 months

    A questionnaire-based assessment of intervention fidelity completed by study participants regarding the advocates (competence and adherence) through an online portal. SCORING RANGE

  6. Intervention Fidelity

    Time frame: 12 months

    A questionnaire-based assessment of intervention fidelity completed by study participants regarding the advocates (competence and adherence) through an online portal. SCORING RANGE

  7. Intervention Fidelity

    Time frame: 24 months

    A questionnaire-based assessment of intervention fidelity completed by study participants regarding the advocates (competence and adherence) through an online portal. SCORING RANGE

  8. Researcher derived measures of fidelity

    Time frame: 3 months

    A single composite measure of directly-observed intervention delivery assessed via web analytics, participation rates, and other calculated measures of fidelity.

  9. Researcher derived measures of fidelity

    Time frame: 12 months

    A single composite measure of directly-observed intervention delivery assessed via web analytics, participation rates, and other calculated measures of fidelity.

  10. Researcher derived measures of fidelity

    Time frame: 24 months

    A single composite measure of directly-observed intervention delivery assessed via web analytics, participation rates, and other calculated measures of fidelity.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Comparison of program-related costs

    Time frame: Baseline, 3 month, 12 months, and 24 months.

    Program-related costs above and beyond cost of sit-stand workstation which may include advocate time spent implementing the intervention and intervention supplies.

  2. Change in health-related quality of life

    Time frame: Baseline, 3 month, 12 months, and 24 months.

    36-Item Short Form Survey (SF36) assesses quality of life that will be used to estimate incremental cost effectiveness. Scored from 0 to 100, with 0 being maximum disability and 100 being no disability.

  3. Change in musculoskeletal pain

    Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, 12 months, and 24 months.

    The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) assesses pain by bodily region on a Likert-type scale SCORING RANGE.

  4. Change in Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire - General Health

    Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, 12 months, and 24 months.

    Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire: General Health (WPAI:GH) assesses impairment in paid work and activities in the preceding 7 days on an interval and Likert-type scale with a higher score indicating greater impariment.

Other outcomes

  1. Change in sedentary behavior

    Time frame: Baseline, 3 month, 12 months, and 24 months.

    Sedentary behavior questionnaire (SBQ) is a brief questionnaire to assess time spent sitting in different work and non-work contexts SCORING RANGE
