Outcome Summary:

One randomised controlled study has evaluated the effectiveness of the ExecuPrev-Live Well program. Managers from a range of organisations were randomly assigned to either the intervention group or no-treatment control. The intervention group were instructed to spend at least 10 hours over a 6 month period reviewing the program. In relation to diet, the intervention group showed significant improvements compared to controls for both attitudes towards a healthy diet and dietary self-efficacy. Moreover, the intervention group also showed significantly fewer distress symptoms following use of the program - and women in the intervention group lost significantly more from their waists than women in the control group. Therefore, this study provides supporting evidence in favour of the program's effectiveness in improving health among managers.
