Abstract

his systematic review and meta-analysis examine the impact of video-based educational interventions on nutrition, health, and health service utilization in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The analysis reveals that video interventions significantly improve maternal knowledge of newborn care, colostrum feeding practices, continued breastfeeding, and the intention to use family planning. Despite these gains, limited effects were observed in areas such as exclusive breastfeeding and dietary diversity. Video-based education emerged as a feasible and culturally acceptable tool for behavior change communication in LMICs. However, challenges related to intervention sustainability, design variability, and the assessment of long-term outcomes highlight the need for more robust research methodologies. The findings support video-based interventions as an effective strategy to enhance health and nutrition behaviors, with recommendations for tailored implementation in diverse settings.
