Diet and Activity Promotion among Older Working Adults
The goal of this study is to enhance ALIVE (A Lifestyle Intervention Via Email), which is an email-based diet and physical activity intervention program that was effective in a randomized trial among KP regional employees, to make it particularly relevant for older workers. The study will also test the enhanced program in a randomized trial among workers 55 to 65 and will evaluate its cost effectiveness.
