Understanding the Implementation of "Sit Less at Work" Interventions in Three Organisations: A Mixed Methods Process Evaluation.

ABSTRACT: Long periods of workplace sitting are associated with poor health outcomes. Interventions to reduce workplace sitting time have had variable impacts, the reasons for which require further investigation.
