I. Intervention design and implementation

 Communication

Communication and awareness about the intervention

Q; How was the intervention/action plan communicated to all workers at the start?

Q; Did you know beforehand that you receive a toolbox regarding health and what was included?

Q; How was the intervention communicated to the workers at the start?/ How were participants informed about the intervention?

Q; What communication tools were used to communicate the intervention to the workers?

Q; How did workers participate as Citizen Scientists and did they feel responsible for the intervention?

Q; Did the workers felt involved during the intervention? (assisting/participating with thinking about improvements)
