Brief Summary
The purpose of this research study is to develop, implement, and evaluate a multi-component obesity prevention program in a workplace setting. A quasi-experimental design will be utilized, with hospital employees receiving the intervention and clinic employees serving as the comparison group. It is hypothesized that the intervention group will see greater changes in healthier eating, increased participation in physical activity, and reduced risk for obesity (weight, BMI, waist circumference).
