Promoting Behavior Change Among Working-Class, Multiethnic Workers
Objectives. We examined the efficacy of a cancer prevention intervention designed to improve health behaviors among working-class, multiethnic populations employed in small manufacturing businesses. Methods. Worksites were randomly assigned to an intervention or minimal-intervention control condition. The intervention targeted fruit and vegetable consumption, red meat consumption, multivitamin use, and physical activity. Results. Employees in the…

Drawing from a range of social and behavioral theories and lessons from social epidemiology, we articulate a social-contextual model …
Model for incorporating social context in health behavior interventions
Implications of the Results of Community Intervention Trials
