“…Employees did not enrol because they did "not have time to do any sort of things". Time constraints and lack of time are frequently reported in the literature as challenging factors negatively influencing participation in physical activity studies and as a barrier to participation in general WHPP (Chinn et al, 2006;Person et al, 2010), and in other workplace PA studies (Edmunds et al, 2013;Fletcher et al, 2008;Kruger et al, 2007;Phipps et al, 2010;Robroek et al, 2012). In this study, time limitations were both mentioned as barrier to participation and to were also related to the enrolment process, which appeared too time consuming and burdensome.…”

This study aimed to investigate the reasons for participating and not participating in an e-health workplace physical activity (PA) intervention.Methodology. Semi-structured interviews and two focus groups were conducted with a purposive sample of employees who enrolled and participated in the intervention and with those who did not complete enrolment, hence did not participate in it. Data was examined using thematic analysis according to the clusters of "reasons for participation" and for "nonparticipation". Findings.Reported reasons for participation included a need to be more active, to increase motivation to engage in PA, and to better manage weight. Employees were attracted by the perceived ease of use of the programme and by the promise of receiving reminders.Many felt encouraged to enrol by managers or peers. Reported reasons for non-participation included lack of time, loss of interest towards the programme, or a lack of reminders to complete enrolment. Practical implications.Future e-health workplace behavioural interventions should consider focusing on employees' needs and motivators to behaviour change, provide regular reminders for participants to complete enrolment and ensure that procedures are completed successfully. Barriers to participation could be identified through formative research with the target population and feasibility studies.Originality/value. This study combines a qualitative analysis of the reasons why some employees decided to enrol in a workplace PA intervention and why some others did not. This study highlights factors to consider when designing, implementing and promoting similar Running head: Reasons for participating in a workplace PA intervention 2 interventions and that could inform strategies to enhance participation in workplace PA interventions.

“…In WHPP, some studies suggest that participation rates are lowest among younger men, low educated, blue-collar workers, who have low intention to engage in PA and high perceived barriers to PA (Chinn et al, 2006;Lakerveld et al, 2008).…”

“…Second, the participation rate was relatively low (41%), which might limit the generalization of the findings; yet, this participation rate is comparable with the Vitamin or dietary supplement users in Switzerland P Marques-Vidal et al MONICA surveys conducted in Switzerland and in France (Wolf et al, 1998). Further, subjects who agreed to participate might be more health conscious and at a lower risk than those who refuse (Lewis et al, 1996;Wall and Teeland, 2004;Chinn et al, 2006), which would lead to an overestimation of the true prevalence of VMS and DS use. Still, it should be noted that the distribution of age groups 35-54 and 55-75 years in the CoLaus study was comparable to the source population and there was no gender or zip code distribution difference between the source population and the CoLaus participants (data not shown).…”

Prevalence and characteristics of vitamin or dietary supplement users in Lausanne, Switzerland: the CoLaus study

Background and objectives: Vitamin þ mineral supplement (VMS) and dietary supplement (DS) use is widespread in the general population, but the motivations for such use are poorly known. The prevalence and characteristics of VMS and DS users in Lausanne, Switzerland, were thus assessed. Method: Cross-sectional study was performed including 3249 women and 2937 men (CoLaus study). VMS were defined as single or multivitamin-multimineral preparations. DS included omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acids, herbal teas, plant or animal extracts and bacterial (Lactobacillus) preparations. Calcium and iron supplements were assessed separately. Results: Twenty-six percent of the subjects reported using VMS or DS. VMS were the most frequently consumed item (16.8%), followed by DS (10%), calcium (6.6%) and iron (1.8%). Women reported a higher consumption than men. In women, VMS, DS and calcium use increased and iron use decreased with age, whereas in men only VMS and calcium intake increased with age. Multivariate analysis showed female gender, being born in Switzerland, increased age, higher education and increased physical activity to be positively related with VMS and DS. On bivariate analysis, VMS and DS users presented more frequently with arthritis, anxiety, depression and osteoporosis, but on multivariate analysis only positive relationships between DS use and anxiety/depression (odds ratio (OR) ¼ 1.40; 95% confidence interval (CI): [1.16-1.70]) and calcium and osteoporosis (OR ¼ 10.6;.4]) were found. Conclusion: VMS and DS use is common in the population of Lausanne and associated with a better health profile. Calcium supplements are taken to prevent osteoporosis, whereas the rationale for taking other VMS and DS is unclear.

“…105 High levels of deprivation are known to predict poor consent rates in trials evaluating behavioural interventions for sedentary people. 106,107 It may be particularly difficult to recruit healthy participants in deprived communities for an intervention that may have significant costs to participants, including both the costs of behaviour change and the time and travel costs of attending for the intervention as well as recruitment, baseline data collection and follow-up. We were also recruiting participants from an age group (40-65 years) in which many people have both work and family responsibilities, which may make it particularly likely that perceived costs will outweigh the perceived benefits of participation.…”
