Preparing for retirement: implementation and evaluation of the live more! Program

The aim of this paper is to describe the process of establishment and evaluation of Live More! - the retirement planning program of a Brazilian public university. A logic model based on inputs, outputs, results, assumptions and external factors was used. Thirteen employees were divided into two groups receiving 24 hours of informative and experiential intervention during eight weeks. The topics' selection was based on the predictors of successful aging. Content analysis was adopted to interpret the participants' answers in the evaluation interviews. Results demonstrated that the main goal of the program - to promote workers' well-being, health and quality of life - was achieved.
