The Stanford Plant-based Educational Study: Providers Learning About Nutrition Together (PLANT)

Study overview: This is a randomized, delayed intervention trial testing a flexible, multimodal WFPBD educational program for 6 weeks for providers at Stanford in any department. Research Activities: 1. Screening: Interested participants will participate in a Qualtrics survey, which will determine eligibility. 2. Enrollment: If the provider expresses interest in participating, the research team will send an email that explains details about the study. A waiver of consent will be utilized given minimal risk. 3. Intervention: a 6-week multimodal educational intervention program. We will utilize a pre- and post-study survey which will include information on current dietary habits and use of Diet ID (assessment of diet type and quality). We will also assess their mindset for adopting a WFPBD. Finally, we will assess measures of motivation and confidence to adopt a WFPBD and to prescribe a WFPBD to patients. The educational program will include interactive didactic sessions, cooking classes, and weekly emails with suggested resources and activities including movies, recipes, and websites.
