About this study

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the potential benefits of integrating a video covering topics related to nutrition education, food literacy and type 2 diabetes into Seva Food Banks current programs (Culinary Training for Youth, Culinary Training for Newcomers, Cooking Classes for Seniors), to learn if integrating this video can reduce risk of type 2 diabetes by improving diet quality, nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors among participants of the programs. The main question it aims to answer is: How does the integration of a nutrition education video covering topics related to food literacy and type 2 diabetes within Seva Food Bank's Culinary Training programs for youth, newcomers, and seniors influence participants' diet quality, nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors? Participants will: * Complete a baseline questionnaire before watching the educational video * Watch the nutrition education video * Complete a questionnaire at 2-weeks and again 1-month post-intervention to assess sustained effects and maintenance.

Interventions

This video will be approximately 5-minutes long and covers nutrition topics related to Canada's Food Guide and type 2 diabetes.

Primary outcomes

Changes in diet quality (baseline and 1-2 months)
