Abstract

Using a mixed methodology, this study investigated the effectiveness of the College of Occupational Therapists' careers video in increasing the knowledge of six careers advisers about the profession and obtained their views of the video as a promotional tool. To quantify the advisers' knowledge, a pre-test post-test questionnaire was used before and after viewing the video. A short qualitative interview then ascertained their impressions of the video. Despite a high baseline knowledge, viewing the video was effective in increasing it. The advisers had mixed opinions about the video, suggesting that it could be improved and clarified.
