A New v Model for Lone Workers: Results of the Safety & Health Involvement For Truckers (SHIFT) Pilot Study
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 10/29/09
Olson R et al. – This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a new health promotion model for lone workers...Objectively measured body weight reduced by 7.8 lbs, and survey measures showed significant reductions in dietary fat and sugar consumption. An objective measure of safe driving also showed significant improvement, and increases in exercise motivational stage and walking fitness approached significance. Results suggest that the new intervention model is substantially more engaging and effective with truck drivers than previous education–based tactics.
