Abstract: A quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control group, pretest-posttest study was conducted with 84 female reservation employees of Piedmont Airlines in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and Nashville, Tennessee. The purpose was to investigate the relationship between anxiety and depression and various other nutrition and health-related factors using baseline data and to assess the effectiveness of a health promotion program in achieving improvements on measures of anxiety, depression, job satisfaction, and certain nutrition and health factors. The subjects included only full-time employees, ranging in age from 19 to 60 years. The Winston-Salem group served as the experimental group and were involved in a seven-month, work site health promotion program which emphasized basic nutrition, the dietary guidelines, stress control, and exercise. The Nashville group served as controls and were not exposed to the health promotion program. Data collection included self-completion anxiety, depression, and job satisfaction scales, a nutrition and health habits inventory, a food questionnaire and frequency checklist, a 24-hour recall, and 3-day food record. Other measures included blood pressure and assessment of percentage of body fat, using four skinfolds.
