Promoting Dietary Change Among State Health Employees in Arkansas Through a Worksite Wellness Program: The Healthy Employee Lifestyle Program (HELP)
Preventing Chronic Disease, 09/22/09

Perez AP et al. – Consumption of sweets/desserts, fats, protein, grains, processed meats, and dairy did not differ significantly from baseline to follow–up.

Further study is needed to examine physical activity and other health risk factors to determine whether the program merits a broader dissemination.
