The Total Life Concept Transplanted from AT&T to Sandia National Laboratories.
Abstract   This study illustrates how the Total Life Concept (TLC) program originated by AT&T was successfully transplanted to another work site, Sandia National Laboratories. Demographics of the participants at A T&T and Sandia differ and make comparisons difficult, but it is possible to assess program impact in terms of participation rates for each program.   The original AT&T TLC pilot study had three major components: orientation, testing, and risk interpretation; lifestyle-improvement courses; and activities to promote health. Sandia kept the three major components of the AT&T TLC concept and made some modifications to meet Sandia's needs.   Sandia's experience of adopting a model program and tailoring it to local needs worked well, demonstrating that an existing model can be successfully altered to meet the needs of different companies in varied settings.
