OBJECTIVE: This critical review focuses on the 27 new studies focused on the clinical and cost outcomes research focused on worksites and published between 2008 to 2010. METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted using a multi-stage process that included a MEDLINE, ERIC, ADI, EDGAR, CARL, Inform, Lexis-Nexis databases, and direct inquires to worksite researchers and corporate medical directors. RESULTS: Clearly, these new studies indicate further evidence of positive outcomes since, the quantity and quality of such research continues to improve. CONCLUSIONS: When corporations, government, and health plans are demanding more evidence based outcomes, this increase in rigorous research.
