The Effectiveness of a Motivational Signage as a Natural Experiment in Promoting Physical Activity in a University Setting: Program Evaluation using a Logic Model
TL;DR: The motivational signage in this study resulted in excellent visibility and readability, 71% and 72% respectively, however, most of the visitors who had ever seen the signage still felt that it did not influence their choice, and future program evaluation should have a more rigorous design by measuring the baseline data and observing an identical building as a control.

A longitudinal controlled signage intervention to increase stair use at university buildings: Process and impact evaluation using RE-AIM framework
TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the effectiveness of a signage intervention to increase stair climbing at a university building using the RE-AIM framework. But the results showed that the signs did not change the proportion of the stair descending at the intervention building, while the signs were potentially viewed 15,077-18,868 times/week by visitors.
