评估旨在降低陶氏员工肥胖患病率的组织/支持性环境干预措施的创新、循证方法，并在实施两年后进行评估。一项准实验研究设计比较了两个干预强度水平与对照组的结果。倾向评分用于衡量干预组和对照组受试者之间的基线差异。差异中差异方法和多水平建模用于控制个体和研究中心水平的混杂因素。干预参与者保持他们的体重和BMI，而对照参与者在两年内增加了1.3磅，BMI值增加了0.2。在血压和胆固醇值的显着差异时，观察比较干预员工控制。在高强度的网站，改善更为明显。工作场所的环境干预可以在两年后支持体重管理和降低风险。
Evaluate innovative, evidence-based approaches to organizational/supportive environmental interventions aimed at reducing the prevalence of obesity among Dow employees after two years of implementation. A quasi-experimental study design compared outcomes for two levels of intervention intensity to a control group. Propensity scores were used to weight baseline differences between intervention and control subjects. Difference-in-differences methods and multi-level modeling were used to control for individual and site-level confounders. Intervention participants maintained their weight and BMI while control participants gained 1.3 pounds and increased their BMI values by 0.2 over two years. Significant differences in blood pressure and cholesterol values were observed when comparing intervention employees to controls. At higher intensity sites, improvements were more pronounced. Environmental interventions at the workplace can support weight management and risk reduction after two years.
