Abstract

Native Americans (NA) have higher obesity rates compared to other populations. Employed adults spend a significant amount of time at work. OPREVENT2, an obesity prevention trial in 6 NA communities, included a worksite component that incorporated nutrition and physical activity educational media, competitions, tastes tests, and coffee station makeovers. Process evaluation results indicate a well-implemented worksite component based on team standards. Statistically significant improvements of coffee stations healthy offerings (p=0.006), but none in health policies and resources, were observed. Partnering with businesses to create healthier working environments was successful and future trials should investigate the effects on an individual level.

Keywords: Health Policy; MLMC Intervention; Native American; Nutrition; Obesity; Physical Activity; Process Evaluation; Worksite.
