Investigators will conduct a randomized controlled evaluation of standard nutrition education vs. standard education + Nutri, and interactive clinical software that automates diet assessment and guides resident physicians through personalized and evidence-based diet counseling. Investigators will evaluate differences in resident-reported diet counseling competence and self-efficacy using survey measures. Investigators will evaluate skills using a simulated patient appointment and coding scheme described in prior work.

Exclusion Criteria:
Nutri Training will begin with 1) a presentation of diet counseling evidence and best practices for advising patients, along with information about nutrition recommendations for patients with chronic illness and 2) tools supporting the patient for follow-up. This content will be delivered via a live demonstration of the Nutri interactive software and case demonstration, a novel approach to delivering the learning objectives of standard nutrition education for residents.
Behavioral: Nutri Training
Standard Nutrition Training will present an overview of 1) nutrition recommendations for patients with chronic disease and 2) cover the role of a registered dietitian and referrals.

Diet Counseling Competence
Self-report of diet counseling competency; 4-point Likert-like scale scale; higher score means better outcome
Time frame: Resident pre-assessment and post-assessment, expected to be 2 weeks after enrollment
Diet Counseling Self-Efficacy
Self-report of confidence (self-efficacy) in diet counseling; 4-point Likert-like scale scale; higher score means a better outcome.
Time frame: Resident pre-assessment and post-assessment, expected to be 2 weeks after enrollment
Diet Counseling Skills
We will also use an observation checklist to systematically capture resident shared decision-making and diet counseling skills. We will create this checklist based on a literature review of similar tools, such as the Shared Decision Making (SDM) SDM-9 and the coding scheme described in Alexander 2011. Higher score indicates a better outcome. Score range will be reported once the scale has been finalized.
Time frame: Post-hoc analysis of simulation activity, expected to be at 2 weeks after training intervention
Physician Diet Counseling Outcome Expectations
Self-report of diet counseling outcome expectations; 5-point Likert-like scale; higher score means better outcome.
Time frame: Resident pre-assessment and post-assessment, expected to be 2 weeks after enrollment
Semi-structured debrief interview
Semi-structured debrief interview to better understand the resident's experience and feedback on the training session and simulation activity.
Time frame: Post-hoc analysis of simulation activity, expected to be at 2 weeks after training intervention
Training Satisfaction
Self-report of satisfaction with training; 5-point Likert-like scale scale; higher score means a better outcome.
Time frame: Resident post-assessment, expected to be 2 weeks after enrollment
Ran from Oct 2023 to primary completion in Feb 2024, 3 months.
Of 375 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Chronic Disease, half reached primary completion within 21 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 33. This study's 3 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 388 studies reached it within 21 months; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 33.
Chronic Disease covers many different conditions, not one, so the studies compared here vary widely. Read these figures as a rough guide.
