  • Utilizing a single-arm, repeated-measures design with data collected via surveys, toolkit analytics, and champion interviews.
  • Evaluation guided by the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) Framework, including an economic evaluation.

Main Results:

  • The study received funding in June 2018, with protocol approval in January 2017 and trial commencement in June 2019.
  • As of December 2019, 48 teams were recruited for the national implementation trial.
  • The trial is designed to expose a minimum of 10,000 employees to the program.

Conclusions:

  • The implementation and evaluation of BeUpstanding will generate practice-based evidence.
  • Findings will inform the potential broader dissemination of the BeUpstanding program.
  • The study contributes to understanding the scalability and sustainability of workplace health interventions.
