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.
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?

A Healthy Beverage Initiative will be instituted at two hospital campuses.
California Pacific Medical Center
San Francisco, California, United States
Abdominal adiposity
Study participants at HBI campuses will show improvements (specifically, decreases) in indices of abdominal adiposity measured using waist circumference in centimeters.
Time frame: 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.
Time frame: About one year.
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.
Time frame: 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).
Time frame: About one year.
