Title Effects of a corporate health promotion program
Bibliographic information Apr. 1986, Vol.28, No.4, p.285-290. 2 ref.
Abstract The effects of a pilot health promotion programme at a large telecommunications corporation in the USA were evaluated. The study group was given an initial health risk appraisal and offered health education modules. A control group was given the health risk appraisal with no modules; a second control group was neither given the appraisal nor offered modules. The health promotion programme was found to lower health risks and improve health-related and job-related attitudes among the study group. Participants in specific intervention modules experienced gains in positive health behaviours.
