Successes and challenges of an online based nutrition awareness program in 9–11-year-old children in four Arab countries: The Ajyal Salima digital platform qualitative study
To enhance the platform's effectiveness, recommendations include simplifying the registration process, enhancing content interactivity, aligning the platform with school curricula, and equipping teachers with supportive resources. Fostering stronger school-family partnerships and engaging parents through community initiatives may be considered to maximize the platform's potential to promote healthier eating habits and improve nutritional awareness among children and their families, across the region.
