Table 2 Findings regarding the effectiveness of 13 health promotion programs in 7598 workers on health behaviour outcomes. Results are shown from two-stage meta-analyses with linear mixed modelling for which we assessed intervention effects on health behaviours (physical activity, diet, alcohol use, and smoking). All models were adjusted for baseline values of the outcomes, age and gender. Total effects and those stratified by SEP are shown
