Evaluation of Safety and Health Involvement For Truck Drivers

The current project is a randomized, controlled evaluation of a new weight loss and health promotion intervention for truck drivers. The intervention is a 6-month weight loss competition supported with computer based training, behavioral self-monitoring, and motivational interviewing. We hypothesize that the intervention will produce greater change than a usual practices control condition. Our secondary hypothesis is that social support and stress in home and work environments will moderate intervention efficacy.
