Disney World Cast Members To Participate in Diabetes Study

Walt Disney World has informed its cast members of a voluntary participation in a University of Florida study on diabetes, involving as many as 1000 cast members.

The company -- thought to be the nation's largest single-site employer -- is announcing the University of Florida-conducted study to employees today through its internal Web site, employee newsletter and team leaders.

Open only to insured employees and strictly voluntary, the yearlong study will invite those currently being treated for diabetes to participate.

Not a bad idea. After all, you have a concentration of people working under the same employer at a single site. Why not take advantage of that?
