N2 - Objective: Compare the effectiveness of instructional videos with print handouts when educating family medicine patients about the use of herbs and spices to reduce sodium, saturated fat, and added sugars during meal preparation. Design: Enrollees were randomized to either view 5 short videos or read 3 handouts. The intervention was implemented while patients waited for their provider to begin their appointment. Postintervention surveys were completed on the patient's smartphone. Setting: Penn State Health family medicine clinics. Participants: Patients who attended in-person appointments between September 2022 and August 2023 (n = 102). Main Outcome Measure(s): The impact of video and handout intervention on participants’ interest, confidence, knowledge, and intention to use herbs and spices and their perceptions of the intervention. Analysis: Descriptive statistics summarized sample characteristics; t tests compared video and handout groups. Results: The video group had higher scores for interest, confidence, and intention to use herbs and spices. Participants perceived the videos as clearer (P = 0.001) and more appropriately complex (P = 0.02) than the handout materials. Conclusions and Implications: Videos were superior to handouts in promoting interest, confidence, and intention to use herbs and spices for healthier cooking. Videos may improve patient engagement and preventive health care practices in clinical settings.
