What is this study about?

We are conducting this study to explore factors important in the overall health and wellbeing of desk-based workers, such as their work environment, sitting and standing activity while at work, and mental wellbeing. As a desk-based worker, your participation in this study will contribute to advancing our understanding of this important topic.

What will I need to do?

If you agree to participate, you will need to wear a small activity monitor on your thigh for 24 hours a day for seven days. You will also need to answer a questionnaire at the beginning of the study and respond to short survey questions across the day over seven days as you go about your normal day-to-day life. Survey questions will be delivered via a free app (Movisens App) downloaded onto your Android smartphone (if you do not have an Android phone, we can provide one for the study). In appreciation for your time and participation in successfully completing the study, you will be gifted a $40 gift card when the researcher comes to collect your activity monitor.
