Brief Summary
Exposure to sedentary work is an occupational hazard with significant health and safety consequences. Sedentary behavior is an independent predictor of heart disease, diabetes, early mortality, and accounts for the majority of the increase in obesity in the US. Prolonged sitting, common in modern sedentary work environments, contributes to increases in musculoskeletal pain, injuries, and detrimental changes in physiological functioning. Call center employees, who are among the most sedentary workers in the US, area priority population for Total Worker Health interventions. This project is designed to substantially improve health, safety, and well-being in call center employees, including physiological outcomes that contribute to chronic diseases.The study tests whether a Total Worker Health oriented intervention is more effective than usual practices for increasing the utilization of health and safety resources and improving worker health and safety. Study results will have implications for over 30 million sedentary workers in the US.

Study Arms (2)
Total Worker Health Intervention
EXPERIMENTALControl
ACTIVE COMPARATORInterventions
The intervention combines organizational and individual level strategies. Participants will be given access to pedal stands, health and safety messaging, and other environmental modifications. Intervention activities that participants could be asked to complete include: computer based training, goal setting and behavioral self-monitoring, scripted team-based health and safety discussions, and team competitions with pedal stands. Supervisor participants could additionally be asked to complete additional computer based training, goal setting and behavioral self-monitoring of supportive behaviors, and inter-supervisor observations. The intervention is six-months in duration.

Data will not be routinely provided to other researchers outside of the investigator team. However, requests for specific data from national governmental or international science-based organizations seeking to conduct meta-analyses of such data will be honored. We will make aggregated data from the analyses available to qualified researchers through publications and presentations at scientific meetings. We will make all our quantitative de-identified data available to other scientists after the publication of findings linked to our specific aims outlined in the research plan through the Data Repository or directly if not maintained in the Repository.
