Brief summary
The study is designed to determine if instituting a Healthy Beverage Initiative (HBI) at hospitals influences health and wellness of employees over a 12 month period.
Detailed description
To examine whether HBI is associated with decreased adiposity over a 12-month time period, in comparison to individuals identically assessed but not exposed to a HBI. Specifically, do those exposed to the HBI decrease in measures of adiposity, BMI, and sugar sweetened beverage (SSB) intake? Do they decrease more in those measures as compared to those not exposed to the HBI?
Interventions

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Abdominal adiposity | About one year. | Study participants at HBI campuses will show improvements (specifically, decreases) in indices of abdominal adiposity measured using waist circumference in centimeters. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Body Mass Index (BMI) | About one year. | Study participants at HBI campuses will show improvements (specifically, decreases) in body mass index \[BMI\] measured using height in centimeters and weight in kilograms to be calculated into BMI in kg/m\^2. |
| Sugar Sweetened Beverage Intake | About one year. | Study participants at HBI campuses will show improvements (specifically, decreases) in SSB intake measured by the BEVQ (beverage food frequency questionnaire). |
