Care2BWell: Worksite Wellness for Child Care

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Physical Activity

In brief

This study will evaluate the efficacy of a 6-month child care-based intervention to improve workers' physical activity and other health-related behaviors compared to an attention control intervention (Healthy Lifestyles vs. Healthy Finances). The study sample will use a cluster randomized design and a sample of 104 child care centers and 416 child care workers (4 workers/center). The intervention arm will receive a 6-month child care-based intervention designed to improve workers' moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and other health-related behaviors (Healthy Lifestyles). The control arm (attention control) will receive a similarly structured program about financial health (Healthy Finances). The primary outcome is workers' MVPA; and secondary outcomes include workers' dietary intake, weight, smoking, sleep, and stress, as well as the centers' health supportive policies/structures for staff wellness and the overall physical activity environment for children. All primary and secondary outcomes will be assessed at baseline, post-intervention (6 months), and maintenance (18 months).
