Overview
Brief Summary
The aims of this study are 1) To assess the prevalence of tobacco use and cessation treatment preferences among YKHC employees, 2) To assess employee's current levels of perceived stress, engagement in physical activity, and feelings of resiliency to inform future tobacco cessation interventions, and to examine the relationship between these factors and tobacco use, and 3) To assess YKHC employees' perceptions and opinions of the hospital's current workplace tobacco policy and expansion of these regulations to all YKHC properties.
Detailed Description
All employees at YKHC will be invited to complete an online survey that took approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. All employees will receive information via email, which includes an overview of the project, information regarding privacy and consent, and a link to the survey. Those who wish to do so were able to print a copy of the information for their reference. Employees who wish to participate did so by clicking on the survey link. Those who do not wish to participate could simply delete the email. Participants will be given two weeks to complete the online survey. Individuals who do not respond within the first week, will be sent an automated email reminder. All employees who participate will received a small incentive (approximately $10 in value).
