DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): According to the World Health Organization, to stop or eventually reverse the rise in obesity prevalence, broad, population-based approaches are needed. Obesity prevention can be achieved by promoting a healthy diet and a physically active lifestyle. In response to this Request for Application, a partnership with Eastman Kodak Co., the major employer in Rochester, NY, has been developed to test a worksite intervention for obesity prevention. The overall goal of this proposal is to design a comprehensive nutrition and physical activity strategy based on participatory research involving the three levels of the epidemiologic triad (host, environment, and agent) to promote a healthy lifestyle and, as a consequence, to stop the shift of the population body mass index curve to the right. In order to achieve the goal of this proposal, the specific aims are: (1) To gain a broad understanding of the social/cultural role of food and physical activity among workers as well as to elicit workers' perspectives on innovative interventions that are socially feasible and culturally acceptable; (2) To perform a Nested Pretest-Posttest Control Group Cross-Sectional design to test healthy lifestyle promotion interventions addressing portion control, healthy nutrition, and sedentarism. Six pairs of worksites will be randomized to intervention and control conditions. Two cross-sectional samples of employees within worksites will be measured at baseline and at the end of the intervention. The pattern of the outcome measures will be observed by following a cohort of employees overtime.; (3) To perform Process and Outcome Evaluation to assess the implementation of strategies and intermediate outcomes; (4) To identify the economic benefits of the workplace intervention by using a cost-effectiveness approach from the societal and business perspective; and (5) To develop methods for fast-track information dissemination across the scientific and occupational health disciplines. The strategies and tools developed will have a potential impact on 20,000 employees in the Rochester, NY area and 60,000 worldwide.

描述（由申请人提供）： 世界卫生组织表示，为了阻止或最终扭转肥胖流行率的上升，需要采取广泛的、基于人群的方法。 预防肥胖可以通过促进健康饮食和积极锻炼的生活方式来实现。 为了响应这一申请请求，我们与纽约州罗彻斯特的主要雇主伊士曼柯达公司建立了合作伙伴关系，以测试预防肥胖的工作现场干预措施。 该提案的总体目标是设计基于参与性研究的综合营养和身体活动策略，涉及流行病学三元组（宿主、环境和媒介）的三个层面，以促进健康的生活方式，从而阻止人口体重指数曲线右移。 为了实现本提案的目标，具体目标是： (1) 广泛了解工人中食物和身体活动的社会/文化作用，并征求工人对社会可行和文化上可接受的创新干预措施的看法； (2) 进行嵌套的前测-后测对照组横断面设计，以测试针对份量控制、健康营养和久坐的健康生活方式促进干预措施。 六对工作场所将被随机分配以进行干预和控制条件。 将在基线和干预结束时对工作场所内员工的两个横截面样本进行测量。 结果测量的模式将通过跟踪一组加班员工来观察。 (3) 进行过程和结果评估，评估战略的实施和中间结果； (4) 使用成本效益方法从社会和商业角度确定工作场所干预的经济效益； (5) 制定跨科学和职业健康学科的快速信息传播方法。 开发的策略和工具将对纽约州罗彻斯特地区的 20,000 名员工和全球 60,000 名员工产生潜在影响。
