The Impact of Workplace Food and Beverage Choices on Health and Wellness

Study Overview
=================
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?

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Abdominal adiposity | Study participants at HBI campuses will show improvements (specifically, decreases) in indices of abdominal adiposity measured using waist circumference in centimeters. | About one year. | 
| Abdominal adiposity | Study participants at HBI campuses will show improvements (specifically, decreases) in indices of abdominal adiposity measured using sagittal abdominal diameter in centimeters. | About one year. | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Body Mass Index (BMI) | 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. | About one year. | 
| Sugar Sweetened Beverage Intake | Study participants at HBI campuses will show improvements (specifically, decreases) in SSB intake measured by the BEVQ (beverage food frequency questionnaire). | About one year. |
