小雇主，特别是低工资行业的小雇主，往往缺乏在没有支持和援助的情况下实施循证健康促进干预措施的能力和资源。这篇文章的目的是(A)描述HealthLinks试验的干预设计和研究方案，并(B)报告基线结果。这项研究是一项三臂随机对照试验，测试HealthLinks干预对工作场所采用和实施循证干预措施的影响。第一组将接受HealthLinks，第二组将接受HealthLinks加健康委员会，第三组将是延迟控制组。78名雇主参与了这项研究；工作场所的3302名员工参与了基线数据收集。雇主和雇员将在基线后一年和两年参加跟踪调查，以衡量HealthLinks干预措施的实施(一年)和维护(两年)。研究结果将决定HealthLinks是否是在小型、低工资工作场所增加基于证据的健康促进的有效方法，以及健康委员会是否是提高HealthLinks有效性的能力建设工具。
Small employers, especially those in low-wage industries, frequently lack the capacity and resources to implement evidence-based health promotion interventions without support and assistance. The purpose of this paper is to (a) describe the intervention design and study protocol of the HealthLinks Trial and (b) report baseline findings. This study is a three-arm randomized controlled trial testing the impact of the HealthLinks intervention on worksites’ adoption and implementation of evidence-based interventions. Group 1 will receive HealthLinks, Group 2 will receive HealthLinks plus wellness committees, and Group 3 will be a delayed control group. Seventy-eight employers are participating in the study; 3302 employees across the worksites participated in baseline data collection. Employers and employees will participate in follow-up surveys at one and two years after baseline to measure implementation (one year) and maintenance (two years) of HealthLinks interventions. Study outcomes will determine whether HealthLinks is an effective approach to increasing evidence-based health promotion in small, low-wage worksites and whether wellness committees are a capacity-building tool that increases HealthLinks’ effectiveness.
