This cross-sectional study analyzed self-reported motivations of SMEowner/managers who engaged in a WMH promotion intervention specifically designed forSMEs.Methods:Data from 297 SME owner/managers was thematically coded prior toconductingmultinominal logistical regression analyses to determine reasons for engagementbased on a series of predictors, including owner/manager psychological distress, recentexperience of a stressful work event, and business confidence.Results:Owner/manager psychological distress, experience of a recent stressful workplace,and low 12-month business confidence incident were important predictors of engagement.Conclusions:The findings provide important insights into the uptake of a WMH promotionintervention, which can inform the design and future recruitment strategies for WMHpromotion interventions within the SME sector.
