Iranian version of child health-friendly neighbourhood checklist: an application in Tehran
Despite some strengths, the overall status of the assessed neighbourhoods indicates a need for targeted improvements to better support and promote children's health. The integration of field observation, a locally validated assessment tool and a focus on children under 6 years of age provides practical evidence to inform urban planning and health promotion policies aimed at creating safer and more child-friendly neighbourhoods.
