The National Institutes of Health's Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) YouTube channel features videos highlighting outstanding behavioral and social science research on mindless eating, risk-taking, diabetes management, and the evolution of skin pigmentation.

 

These four videos are less than seven minutes, evidence based, and feature prominent researchers describing their work and its implications on individual and societal health.  In any setting (workplace, meeting, home, or classroom) these can provide a starting point for discussion about making better health behavior decisions.
