- Original description
The project is a cluster randomized controlled trial of an occupational health intervention for newly hired bus operators. Transit authorities will be randomized to intervention and usual practice conditions and new bus operators will be recruited to participate in a two year study. Intervention participants will complete a program designed to prevent weight gain while also supporting early adjustment and job success. Control participants will experience standard or usual practice working conditions.Read full original descriptionShow less
SHIFT Onboard: Protecting New Transit Operators Against Safety and Health Hazards
The project is a cluster randomized controlled trial of an occupational health intervention for newly hired bus operators. Transit authorities will be randomized to intervention and usual practice conditions and new bus operators will be recruited to participate in a two year study. Intervention participants will complete a program designed to prevent weight gain while also supporting early adjustment and job success. Control participants will experience standard or usual practice working conditions.
Inclusion: Hired to work as a transit bus operator at a participating transit authority, and currently in the pre-service training period.
Exclusion: Female participants who are pregnant or become pregnant during the study period will be excluded from body weight related intervention activities and outcome analyses.
