Abstract

Nutrition is vital for health and development, influencing bodily needs and reducing noncommunicable diseases risk. This study examined the impact of peer-prepared video clips on   young adults' knowledge and practice of healthy food choices. Objectives included assessing   the knowledge and practice levels pre and post-test and evaluating the effectiveness of the
video. Additionally, it aimed to correlate post-test results with demographic variables. A preexperimental quantitative approach and one-group pretest-posttest design were utilized.  Purposive sampling selected 31 young adults. A structured pretest questionnaire was   administered via Google Forms, followed by a peer-prepared video on healthy food choices.  The post-test was conducted five days later. Results showed that, in the pretest, 4 participants  (12.91%) had inadequate knowledge and 27 (87.09%) had moderately adequate knowledge. Posttest, 22 participants (70.96%) had moderately adequate knowledge, while 9 (29.03%) achieved
adequate knowledge. Regarding practice, 4 participants (12.91%) had inadequate practice levels   pretest, and 26 (83.87%) had moderately adequate practice. The study demonstrated the peerprepared video's effectiveness in improving knowledge and practice regarding healthy food  choices among young adults. This highlights the potential of peer-created educational content in
promoting better nutritional habits.
