Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?It is widely accepted that prevention is far more impactful than curative medicine and must be included in primary care. In a previous pilot study, we evaluated passive video preventive lifestyle education in the emergency department. The current study is a randomized prospective trial assessing the practicality and impact of a brief interactive educational video intervention to patients during primary care clinic visits.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Video intervention groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The intervention is an interactive preventive education video lasting approximately 10 minutes. The video is interactive because it asks the patients to answer simple questions about the content in the video to keep them engaged. For instance, if the participant indicates that they do not smoke, the video will "skip" the smoking cessation education and move directly to the other prevention domains.
Group II: ControlActive Control1 Intervention
This arm consists of those randomized to receive no video
