The extent to which the program was implemented as intendedwas modest. The interventionwas effective on participants' progress through stages of behavior change. Conclusions Based on the RE-AIM dimensions it is concluded that for construction workers the program is feasible and potentially effective but adjustments are required before widespread implementation.
