    Area of Science:

    • Health Education
    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Digital Health Interventions

    Background:

    • Coronary heart disease (CHD) poses a significant public health challenge.
    • Early health education is crucial for establishing lifelong healthy habits.
    • Limited resources exist for teaching pediatric populations about heart health and disease prevention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and evaluate a computer-based health education program for primary school children.
    • To introduce the concept of coronary heart disease (CHD) prevention to young learners.
    • To assess the program's effectiveness in enhancing children's knowledge and awareness.

    Main Methods:

    • A computer-based health education program was developed using the Course Builder authoring system.
