DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Although the prevalence of "family-friendly" policies in U.S. workplaces has increased dramatically in recent years, few have been studied using scientifically sound designs. To address this critical gap, NIH and CDC Formed the Work, Family, and Health Network (WFHN). During Phase 1, WFHN designed and conducted multiple pilot and feasibility studies. For Phase 2, the WFHN has been called upon to implement an innovative intervention and to evaluate the intervention using a group-randomized experimental design. RTI International is pleased to submit this application to serve as the Data Coordinating Center for the Phase 2 WFHN. The goal of the proposed study is to assess the effects of a workplace intervention designed to reduce work-family conflict, thereby improving the health and well-being of employees, their families, and their workplaces. The study intervention is grounded in theory from multiple disciplines and supported by findings from our pilot/feasibility studies on the importance of increasing .family-supportive supervisor behaviors and employees' control over work. We will assess the efficacy of the intervention via group randomized field experiments, one at each of two employers representing different industries. Within each industry partner, 30 worksites of 50 to120 employees each will be randomly assigned to intervention or usual practice conditions. All employee and supervisor participants will be assessed at baseline and at 6, 12, and 18 months post baseline, including survey interviews and health assessments of cardiovascular risk and sleep dysregulation based on selected biomarkers and actigraphy. Employees' spouses/partners and/or children (one resident child per employee) aged 10 to 17 will be assessed to document the impact of the intervention on family functioning. In addition, to provide a more detailed perspective on the temporal relationship of work-family conflict and health, a subsample of 500 employee participants and their children will participate in a daily diary assessment, including telephone interviews and saliva sampling. Our process evaluation documents details of intervention fidelity, implementation, and dose received by participants. The WFHN will also translate findings to business environments and other public media channels. This study holds great promise for informing the implementation of evidence-based family-friendly policies and, therefore, for improving the health and well-being of employees and their families nationwide.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管近年来“家庭友好”政策在美国工作场所的盛行率急剧上升，但很少有人使用科学合理的设计进行研究。为了解决这一重大差距，美国国立卫生研究院和美国疾病控制与预防中心成立了工作、家庭和健康网络（WFHN）。在第一阶段，WFHN设计并进行了多项试点和可行性研究。在第二阶段，WFHN被要求实施一项创新的干预措施，并使用组随机实验设计来评估干预措施。RTI国际很高兴提交这份申请，作为第二阶段WFHN的数据协调中心。本研究的目的是评估旨在减少工作与家庭冲突的工作场所干预措施的效果，从而改善员工、其家庭和工作场所的健康和福祉。研究干预是建立在多学科的理论基础上的，并得到了我们关于增加的重要性的试点/可行性研究结果的支持。家庭支持型主管行为与员工对工作的控制。我们将通过分组随机现场实验来评估干预的效果，每个实验在代表不同行业的两个雇主中进行。在每个行业合作伙伴中，将随机分配30个工作场所，每个工作场所有50至120名员工，每个工作场所将被分配到干预或常规实践条件。所有员工和主管参与者将在基线和基线后6、12和18个月进行评估，包括调查访谈和基于选定的生物标志物和活动记录仪的心血管风险和睡眠失调的健康评估。员工的配偶/伴侣和/或10至17岁的子女（每位员工一名常驻子女）将被评估，以记录干预对家庭功能的影响。此外，为了更详细地了解工作-家庭冲突与健康的时间关系，500名员工参与者及其子女的子样本将参与每日日记评估，包括电话访谈和唾液取样。我们的过程评估详细记录了干预的保真度、实施和参与者接受的剂量。WFHN还将把调查结果转化为商业环境和其他公共媒体渠道。这项研究为以证据为基础的家庭友好政策的实施提供了信息，从而改善了全国范围内员工及其家庭的健康和福祉。
