Women Lift Safely! An Intervention Study to Reduce the Risks of Heavy Lifting
The Women Lift Safely! Intervention study aims to increase safe carrying behavior to reduce health risks of heavy lifting in a rural area of Nepal (i.e. reducing weight and using safe lifting techniques). The study's specific aims are to: 1\) Test whether a psychological intervention that promotes self-efficacy can promote women's use of safe carrying behavior effectively compared to an information only control condition. (2) Test whether including a social partner in the intervention is more effective than an individual psychological intervention.
