调查参与雇主为基础的健康计划，为健身中心的利用提供经济激励的启动和维护。使用多变量分析，我们调查了员工的人口统计数据、健康状况、运动相关因素和生活方式改变偏好如何影响计划参与。42%的符合条件的员工参加了该计划，24%的人在一个月内使用健身房8次或更多次，至少获得一次20美元的奖励。平均而言，参与者每年使用健身中心7.0个月，并获得4.5个月的信贷。参与者的利用率在项目的第一年后下降。与健身中心利用率的启动和维持相关的因素是相似的。随着时间的推移，利用率的下降引起了人们对以健身为重点的健康计划的长期有效性的担忧。雇主可能希望考虑额外的杠杆来积极加强参与。
Investigate the initiation and maintenance of participation in an employer-based wellness program that provides financial incentives for fitness center utilization. Using multivariate analysis, we investigated how employees’ demographics, health status, exercise-related factors, and lifestyle change preferences affect program participation. Forty-two percent of eligible employees participated in the program and 24% earned a $20 incentive at least once by utilizing a gym 8 times or more in a month. On average, participants utilized fitness centers 7.0 months each year and earned credit 4.5 months. Participants’ utilization diminished after their first year in the program. Factors associated with initiation and maintenance of fitness center utilization were similar. Declining utilization over time raises concern about the long-run effectiveness of fitness-focused wellness programs. Employers may want to consider additional levers to positively reinforce participation.
