Impact of a School‐Based Workplace Health Promotion Program on Morale of Inner‐City Teachers
Abstract
ABSTRACT: Results from an evaluation study designed to assess the impact of a school‐based, workplace health promotion program on the morale of inner‐city school teachers are reported. Teachers in 10 schools completed a questionnaire measuring components of morale prior to and following the opportunity to participate in a series of health promotion programs. Programs included stress management, nutrition education, healthy back, fitness, weight control, and recreational activities. Data also were collected on teachers from a comparison group of schools in the same district. Measures of teachers' pretest and posttest perceptions of the school environment, particularly in terms of perceived control over work activities and participation (ie, empowerment, p < .05) at posttest, indicated morale was enhanced in schools that implemented the program.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
