Abstract
Nutrition and dietetics education content is uncommon on online platforms. This cross-sectional study evaluated learning preferences and YouTube usage for nutrition education via a Web-based survey of 185 members of Dietitians in Nutrition Support. In-person learning (43%) and video (33%) were preferred learning modalities. Age (P = .008) and practice years (P = .02) were significantly different between modality preference. More than one-half of respondents have used and recommended a video for nutrition education. Top barriers for using educational videos were lack of relevant content and challenges identifying valid resources. Nutrition organizations should prioritize building relevant, evidenced-based video content for education.
