What this trial studies

This interventional study tests whether integrating a nutrition education video into Seva Food Bank programs for youth, newcomers, and seniors can improve diet quality, nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to type 2 diabetes. Participants complete baselines and follow-up questionnaires at 2 weeks and 1 month after viewing the video. The program leverages existing culinary training and cooking classes to reach individuals in the Peel region who are at higher risk for diabetes. The main aim is to determine if a video-based educational component can enhance healthy eating among food bank clients. The study is conducted with participants in three existing programs and uses self-reported measures to gauge change over time.
