This study shows that workplace interventions can increase fruit and vegetable intake. Using informational materials and engaging activities boosted consumption, especially at medium-sized worksites.

Area of Science:

  • Community-based interventions
  • Nutrition and dietetics
  • Public health

Background:

  • Worksite interventions are crucial for promoting healthy eating habits.
  • Increasing fruit and vegetable intake is a key public health goal.
  • Previous community-based dietary interventions have shown mixed results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a community-based worksite intervention designed to increase fruit and vegetable consumption.
  • To identify factors influencing intervention adoption and impact on dietary intake.

Main Methods:

  • The Seattle 5-a-Day Work-Site Project implemented environmental and individual strategies.
  • An Employee Advisory Board customized intervention protocols.
  • Data collected on intervention delivery, employee engagement, and fruit/vegetable intake.

Main Results:

  • Intervention use and fruit and vegetable intake increased among employees.
  • Use of informational materials was associated with increased intake (p = .05).
  • Work sites with medium baseline intake showed the most responsiveness.

Conclusions:

  • Community-based worksite interventions can successfully increase fruit and vegetable intake.
  • Informational materials and employee engagement are key components.
  • Tailoring interventions to worksite characteristics may enhance efficiency.
