Health Protection and Promotion of Sign Language Interpreters Through Implementation of Total Worker Health®

Using mixed-methods and a clinical efficacy trial design, the overall objective of this study will employ implementation strategies to adapt and evaluate a previous integrated Total Worker Health® (TWH®) program and pilot test its efficacy on sign language interpreter well-being. The central hypothesis is that interpreters in the health protection and promotion program (intervention) will demonstrate significantly improved well-being compared to those in a general health program (control).
