Design and Sample: Baseline data from site-randomized trial of a worksite ecological intervention for weight control; 12 public high schools in central Massachusetts; Sample of 844 employees enrolled (~ 2/3 of all employees). Conclusions: Associations of weight loss and eating social norms with behavior; Unique from social support; No association of physical activity social norms with physical activity; May be little opportunity for and therefore little exposure to physical activity during the workday; Results support the development of weight loss interventions that address social norms for weight loss and eating behaviors at work.en-USCopyright the Author(s)ObesityWeight GainWorkplaceHealth BehaviorSocial BehaviorSocial Control, InformalBehavioral Disciplines and ActivitiesBehavior and Behavior MechanismsCommunity Health and Preventive MedicinePreventive MedicinePosterhttps://escholarship.umassmed.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1205&amp;context=prevbeh_pp&amp;unstamped=1https://escholarship.umassmed.edu/prevbeh_pp/2062366589prevbeh_pp/206
