Wellness On- Line Program (WOLP)

Research study

The call for participants for the WOLP study has finished.

HEC would like to thank the hundreds of people who took part in this study.

WOLP, developed by HEC, is the first wellness on-line program aimed at changing people's behaviours via the internet (see below).

A Monash University study tested WOLP in 2003-2004 to see how effective it is (see below).

The data are currently being analysed. Preliminary findings suggest that WOLP was successful in
changing our participant's behaviours via the internet towards a more 'wellness' promoting lifestyle. We will report the full results in a future newsletter.

If you enrol for WOLP, we will notify you via email when WOLP becomes available in 2005.
