The purpose of the proposed research is to evaluate whether principles for successful health promotion programs designed for large businesses can be adapted to small businesses in urban settings. For this research, we propose to develop a mobile team approach to worksite health promotion. The intervention will take a multi-risk factor approach. We will concentrate on identification and referral for preventive services for cardiovascular disease, cancer and smoking cessation. A package of health promotion and disease prevention activities will be developed that are based on the "10 Steps to a Longer and Healthier Life", a New York City's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene initiative. The intervention will be offered free charge to 50 Fifty small businesses located in Harlem, New York City evaluated through a group-randomized trial. Businesses agreeing to participate will be randomized in to one of two conditions: 1) a comprehensive mobile team intervention or 2) a low intensity intervention with receipt of the full intervention to follow after a 3-month delay. The primary outcomes of the study increased use of appropriate preventive services that are available in the community for minimal or no fee and reduction in selected health risk factors. All employee data will be collected as part of the health profile assessment that will be an integral component of the intervention. Additional information will be collected to document worksite and employee participation rates, the fidelity of the intervention to principles of successful health promotion design, and the cost of the intervention. The first year of the study will be devoted to formative research to develop the intervention and confirm hypothesized prevention needs of the target population. The intervention will be conducted during the second and first half of the third year of the grant Analysis of project results will be conducted in year three of the grant.

拟议研究的目的是评估成功健康的原则是否 为大型企业设计的促销计划可以适应城市环境中的小型企业。对于这项研究，我们建议开发一种移动团队的方法来促进工作现场健康。干预将采用多风险因素方法。我们将专注于用于心血管疾病，癌症和戒烟的预防性服务的识别和推荐。将开发一套健康促进和预防疾病的活动，该活动基于“纽约市健康与精神卫生部倡议的10个步骤更长，更健康”。 该干预措施将通过纽约市哈林市的50个五十个小型企业免费提供，并通过集体随机试验进行了评估。同意参加的企业将被随机分配到两个条件之一：1）全面的移动团队干预或2）在3个月延迟后接受全部干预措施，进行低强度干预。该研究的主要结果增加了社区中适当的预防服务的使用，以最少或无需费用，而所选健康危险因素的减少。所有员工数据将作为健康状况评估的一部分收集，这将是干预措施的组成部分。将收集其他信息以记录工作现场和员工的参与率，干预措施的保真度 健康促进设计和干预成本。该研究的第一年将致力于形成性研究，以开发干预措施并确认目标人群的假设预防需求。干预将在项目结果赠款分析的第三年的第二和上半年进行，将在赠款的第三年进行。
