Effectiveness of workplace choice architecture modification for healthy eating and daily physical activity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Modifying the choice architecture of behavioural contexts can facilitate health behaviour change, but existing evidence builds mostly on small-scale interventions limited in duration, targets, strategies, and settings. We evaluated the effectiveness of a one-year hybrid type 2 implementation-effectiveness trial aimed at promoting healthy eating and daily physical activity with subtle modifications to the choice architecture of heterogeneous worksites. The intervention was contextualised to and integrated into the routine operations of each worksite. Effectiveness was evaluated in a quasi-experimental pre-post design.

Methods

Intervention sites (n = 21) implemented a median of two (range 1-9) intervention strategies for healthy eating and one (range 1-5) for physic
