The worksite settings include hotels, hospitals, manufacturing facilities, businesses, schools, and bus garages located across the U.S. Each study uses its own conceptual model drawn from the literature and includes the socio\u2010ecological model for health promotion, the epidemiological triad, and those integrating organizational and social contexts. The interventions, which are offered to all employees, include environmental\u2010 and individual\u2010level approaches to improve physical activity and promote healthful eating practices. Environmental strategies include reducing portion sizes, modifying cafeteria recipes to lower their fat contents, and increasing the accessibility of fitness equipment at the workplace. Across all seven studies about 48% (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>= 23,000) of the population is randomly selected for measurements. The primary outcome measure is change in BMI or body weight after two years of intervention. Secondary measures include waist circumference, objective, and self\u2010report measures of physical activity, dietary intake, changes in vending machines and cafeteria food offerings, work productivity, healthcare use, and return on investment.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Discussion:<\/jats:italic>The results of these studies could have important implications for the design and implementation of worksite overweight and obesity control programs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/oby.2007.258","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,7,17]],"date-time":"2008-07-17T22:40:42Z","timestamp":1216334442000},"page":"2171-2180","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":70,"title":["Design Characteristics of Worksite Environmental Interventions for Obesity Prevention"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Charlotte A.","family":"Pratt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephenie C.","family":"Lemon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Isabel Diana","family":"Fernandez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ron","family":"Goetzel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shirley A.","family":"Beresford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simone A.","family":"French","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Victor J.","family":"Stevens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas M.","family":"Vogt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Larry S.","family":"Webber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.295.13.1549"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.280.5368.1371"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amepre.2005.03.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/109019818801500403"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","volume-title":"Healthy People 2010: Understanding and Improving Health","author":"United States Department of Health and Human Services","year":"2000"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","volume-title":"Surgeon General's Call to Action to Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity","author":"United States Department of Health and Human Services","year":"2001"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4278\/0890-1171-10.6.471"},{"issue":"10","key":"e_1_2_5_9_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Public health strategies for preventing and controlling overweight and obesity in school and worksite settings","volume":"54","author":"Katz D.
