DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The business case for increased employer investment in health promotion and disease prevention programs remains tenuous. To support increased private sector investment in health promotion, this project will team a public health agency, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH), with approximately 10 New York City employers, Cornell University researchers, analysts from Medstat, and the Wellness Council of America (WELCOA) to design, implement, and evaluate a comprehensive set of evidence-based worksite health promotion interventions. We will employ a quasi-experimental research design wherein employees at five worksites will be randomly assigned to a high-intensity (treatment) condition and employees at another five worksites (matched based on industry and other important characeristics) will be randomly assigned into a low-intensity (control) condition. The intervention period will last two years. The aim of the project is to determine the most effective methods that the Wellness at Work Division of the NYC DOHMH can apply to support area employers in their health promotion efforts. The demonstration will test the incremental effects of the high-intensity interventions developed and implemented by the NYC DOHMH, above and beyond interventions already being provided by New York City employers. The impacts of the NYC DOHMH programs will be assessed in terms of improvements in health behaviors, biometric measures, and health risk factors of employees; reductions in self-reported health care utilization and associated medical expenditures; improvements in employee productivity measured in terms of self-reported absenteeism and on-the-job presenteeism; and improvement in key organizational cost measures, employee attitudes toward work, satisfaction with the work environment, and improvement in overall wellbeing. A return-on-investment [ROI]) for this publicly supported health promotion intervention will also be determined.

描述（由申请人提供）：雇主增加健康促进和疾病预防计划投资的商业案例仍然很脆弱。为了支持私营部门增加对健康促进的投资，该项目将与公共卫生机构纽约市健康和心理卫生局 (NYC DOHMH) 以及大约 10 家纽约市雇主、康奈尔大学研究人员、Medstat 分析师和美国健康委员会 (WELCOA) 合作，设计、实施和评估一套全面的基于证据的工作场所健康促进干预措施。我们将采用准实验研究设计，其中五个工作地点的员工将被随机分配到高强度（治疗）条件，另外五个工作地点（根据行业和其他重要特征进行匹配）的员工将被随机分配到低强度（控制）条件。干预期将持续两年。该项目的目的是确定纽约市 DOHMH 工作健康部门可以采用的最有效方法来支持地区雇主的健康促进工作。该演示将测试纽约市 DOHMH 制定和实施的高强度干预措施在纽约市雇主已经提供的干预措施之外的增量效果。纽约市 DOHMH 计划的影响将根据员工健康行为、生物识别措施和健康风险因素的改善进行评估；减少自我报告的医疗保健利用率和相关医疗支出；以自我报告的缺勤率和在职缺勤率来衡量员工生产力的提高；关键组织成本指标的改善、员工对工作的态度、对工作环境的满意度以及整体福祉的改善。还将确定这种公众支持的健康促进干预措施的投资回报率 [ROI]）。
