Abstract

YouTube contains limited content on pediatric cancer and nutrition, and only slightly more than half of the available videos are classified as useful. Even these useful videos receive low audience engagement, revealing a gap between content quality and viewer reach. This highlights the need to increase high-quality content and enhance the visibility of reliable information.
