Heart at work: the evolution and evaluation of a low-cost worksite health promotion program.

Abstract

Worksite health promotion programs developed and promoted by community groups are one of the many program options that corporate decision makers may choose to enhance the health and well-being of their employers. This article describes the development of the American Heart Association's health promotion program, "Heart At Work." The findings from extended field studies and other program evaluation activities are summarized. Implications of evaluation studies to the "Heart At Work" program and health promotion programs in general are discussed.
