Conditions

This project aims to study the process of implementation and continuation of the BRAVO-strategy (see below) in two different worksite settings (i.e. healthcare and education). In addition, the effects of BRAVO on lifestyle and sickness absence of workers will be studied, since positive results will enhance the willingness of companies to implement BRAVO. The BRAVO-strategy is a detailed 7-step implementation method for implementing lifestyle interventions that focus on five main topics: physic

Interventions

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The main outcome measure of this study is to evaluate the natural process of implementation of the BRAVO-strategy in two different and contrasting worksite settings by structurally monitoring the implementation process (process evaluation).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secondary outcome measures are self-reported (determinants of) physical activity, smoking, alcohol and food intake and perceived work stress and work engagement, sick leave data and direct and indirect costs of the implementation of the BRAVO-strategy and accompanying BRAVO-interventions. Furthermore, the tertiary outcome measure data on body composition will be taken into account, but only when a health check is performed by the company.	—
