OBJECTIVES:: To examine whether a Web-based health and leadership development program-designed specifically for managers-was associated with changes in self-reported and biometric indicators of cardiovascular disease within the context of a randomized control trial. METHODS:: A total of 145 managers from 8 organizations participated in a 6-month Internet-based program or a control condition. They completed pre- and posttest assessments that included both self-reported attitudes (on diet, exercise, and mental health) and biometric measures (eg, body weight, waist circumference). RESULTS:: The intervention was associated with improvements in dietary attitudes, dietary self-efficacy, and exercise, and reductions in distress symptoms. Women in the program reduced their waist circumference significantly more than controls. CONCLUSIONS:: The program showed promise for reducing cardiovascular disease risk factors. Similar results across diverse organizations suggest the program may be useful across industry types. |
