目标对于经常更换工作地点的高危工人来说，需要新的工作场所健康促进方法，因此他们获得工作场所健康促进工作的机会可能有限。本研究的目的是测试建筑工人中的行为干预。方法采用随机对照设计，测试了量身定制的电话传递和邮寄干预措施对促进戒烟和增加水果和蔬菜消费的效果（n = 582）。结果在基线时，40% 的对照组参与者和 45% 的干预组参与者报告在过去 7 天内使用过任何烟草。最终，对照组中 8% 的基线吸烟者戒烟，而干预组中这一比例为 19% (p= 0.03)。在两组中，基线时水果和蔬菜的平均消耗量都超过每天五份。最终，干预组的消费量增加了大约一份半，而对照组的消费量略有下降（p < 0.001）。 结论 量身定制的干预措施可以有效促进建筑工人（高风险的流动劳动力）戒烟并增加水果和蔬菜的消费。
ObjectivesNovel approaches to worksite health promotion are needed for high-risk workers who change job sites frequently, and thus may have limited access to worksite health promotion efforts. The objective of this study was to test a behavioral intervention among construction laborers.MethodsUsing a randomized-controlled design, we tested the efficacy of a tailored telephone-delivered and mailed intervention to promote smoking cessation and increased fruit and vegetable consumption (n= 582).ResultsAt baseline, 40% of control group participants and 45% of intervention group participants reported using any tobacco in the last seven days. At final, 8% of baseline cigarette smokers in the control group had quit, compared to 19% in the intervention group (p= 0.03). In both groups, the mean consumption of fruits and vegetables at baseline was over five servings per day. At final, the intervention group had increased consumption by approximately one and one-half servings, compared to a slight decrease in consumption in the control group (p< 0.001).ConclusionsA tailored intervention can be efficacious in promoting tobacco use cessation and increased fruit and vegetable consumption among construction laborers, a high-risk, mobile workforce.
