Educational workshops

7 sessions offered as part of kick-off events; most waves were offered a choice of 2 dates.

100% of centers were represented at workshops; only 54% of workers attended

Magazines

Magazines were delivered during the first week of each campaign to all 28 centers.

While magazines were sent to each center, we did not collect data asking participants to recall if they received the magazine from the center director.

Self-monitoring

Pedometers and website access were made available to 100% of workers either during the educational workshop or a follow-up center visit (for those who did not attend the workshop).

72% of workers monitored at least once

Prompts

Test accounts created by research staff monitored delivery of messages 1 week ahead of time. All problems were either resolved prior to scheduled distribution or prompts were sent manually.

While we monitored test accounts to ensure messages were delivered to our staff as scheduled, we do not have verification that all workers received all messages

Feedback

Test accounts also used to monitor delivery of tailored feedback.
