| Abstract | Objective: Examine effects on employee health of adding various doses of health coaching to wellness programming. Methods: Random assignment of >300 volunteers to three coaching treatments, or a control, with assessments of blood pressure, resting heart rate, health risk appraisal including nutrition and fitness subscales, LDL-cholesterol, and glucose at baseline, three and six months. Results: Data inspection via latent growth curve analyses, and ANOVA, revealed blood pressure to be positively affected by health coaching, regardless of dose. All other variables positively responded to wellness programming but health coaching did not add further to this effect. Conclusions: College employees in a well-orchestrated wellness initiative do not require health coaching to substantially impact most health variables. However, even this population (well-informed, supported, and great access to wellness programming) can benefit from health coaching (i.e., blood pressure). |
