Grant Description: Purpose Health promotion programs in the worksite can offer potential benefits to employers such as improved health and morale, increased productivity and enhanced retention. In addition, worksite health promotion programs offer the potential to: reach a high percentage of employees, including many who might otherwise be unlikely to engage in preventive health behaviors; conduct multi-level interventions that also address organizational and environmental variables as well as individual level characteristics and; improve maintenance and sustainability of behavior changes due to the amount of time employees usually spend in the workplace. Despite a growing number of studies that have shown encouraging results from worksite health promotion interventions, a more consistent evaluation these interventions, their impact, and their potential for translation into public health practice is needed. This RFA will support projects that build upon and expand research on worksite health promotion activities that were funded by RFA CD-04-002 (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-CD-04-002.html). It is intended that research supported by this RFA will contribute by: evaluating the public health impact of worksite health interventions; developing data that can be used to influence worksite health policies and practices; and identifying evidence-based worksite health promotion interventions that have the potential for translation (i.e. from research to practice).
