“…It employed a controlled design with two identical buildings and objective monitoring with less burden of observers, less observer bias, and less contamination bias. In addition, we also controlled total visitors as a confounder ( 20 , 30 , 32 , 35 , 36 ). However, there were several limitations of this study.…”

“…Using double speed and reduced video recording resolution, our observers could not identify visitors’ characteristics, including gender, age, and whether visitors were students or employees. Previous studies found that gender, age, and status of visitors (students or employees) could influence the signage effect ( 29 , 31 , 36 , 37 ). Therefore, future studies should consider controlling these confoundings.…”

IntroductionStair climbing intervention could be suggested to address low occupational physical activity amongst university students and employees. Strong evidence showed the effectiveness of signage intervention in increasing stair use in public areas. However, evidence in worksite settings, including university settings, was inconclusive. This study aimed to evaluate the process and impact of a signage intervention to increase stair use at a university building using the RE-AIM framework.MethodWe conducted a non-randomised controlled pretest-posttest study to examine the effect of signage intervention placed in university buildings in Yogyakarta (Indonesia) between September 2019 and March 2020. The process of designing the signage involved the employees in the intervention building. The main outcome was the change in the proportion of stair use to elevator use measured by manual observations of video recordings from closed-circuit television. A linear mixed model examined the intervention effect by controlling the total visitor count as a confounder. RE-AIM framework was used in the process and impact evaluation.ResultsThe change in the proportion of stair climbing from baseline to the 6th-month phase at the intervention building (+0.067 (95% CI = 0.014–0.120)) was significantly higher than that of the control building. However, the signs did not change the proportion of the stair descending at the intervention building. The signs were potentially viewed 15,077–18,868 times/week by visitors.ConclusionSignage intervention using portable posters could easily be adopted, implemented, and maintained in similar settings. A co-produced low-cost signage intervention was found to have a good reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance dimension.
