4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Workplace SSB sales ban onlyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants receive a workplace SSB sales ban (environmental intervention). This entails the removal of SSBs from all workplace sales outlets, replacing them with non-sugary beverage options.
Group II: Multilevel Intervention (workplace SSB sales ban + brief intervention)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Sales ban: Participants receive a workplace SSB sales ban (environmental intervention). This entails the removal of SSBs from all workplace sales outlets, replacing them with non-sugary beverage options. Brief Intervention: Participants receive a 20-30 minute intervention by video call, with 2 booster telephone calls. One week and one month after the initial session, participants will have 10-minute check-in/booster phone calls.
Group III: Brief intervention onlyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants receive a 20-30 minute intervention by video call, with 2 booster telephone calls. One week and one month after the initial session, participants will have 10-minute check-in/booster phone calls.
Group IV: Control: No workplace SSB sales ban, no brief interventionActive Control1 Intervention
Participants receive no workplace SSB sales ban (environmental intervention) and no brief counseling intervention.

What is the primary goal of this clinical investigation?

"The primary outcome of the clinical trial will be gauged over a 12-month period and will measure any changes in insulin sensitivity (HOMA). Secondary outcomes include determining if there is an alteration in SSB intake, lipid profile measurements such as HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, triglycerides and their respective ratios; additionally, the team will also monitor ApoB blood levels. All metrics are measured at baseline and post 12 months."
