Long-haul truck drivers have been identified as a high-risk population for chronic conditions. Workplace health promotion programs that largely focus on changing individual worker behaviours have had limited success. A social ecological perspective that targets both workers' behaviours, as well as environmental factors, has been cited as a more effective approach to health promotion programming. Methods. Through a social-ecological lens this mixed methods study explored how the mobile work environment supports or hinders health behaviours amongst long-haul truck drivers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 13 participants, diet and activity logs, and an environmental assessment of the TransCanada and Yellowhead Highways between Manitoba and Alberta. Framework Analysis was used to conduct the thematic analysis. Findings. Individual, occupational and policy level influences were identified as impacting the health and health behaviours of participants. This presentation will discuss ways to incorporate a multi-level approach into workplace health promotion programming. Upcoming Presentations Tuesday April 9th, 2024 12:00 - 1:00 pm Dr. Kristen Gulbransen, RN, PhD, Instructor, Red Deer Polytechnic, Red Deer AB: A novel care model: Maternity care experiences of pregnant individuals who use substances.
