About this case study

This case study evaluates the Illinois Workplace Wellness Study, which used a randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of a workplace wellness program on employee health beliefs and biometric outcomes. It examines the accuracy of self-reported health perceptions, the relationship between beliefs and clinical data, and the program’s overall effectiveness in improving health.
