Abstract

Early childhood education is crucial in preventing disease, and the sustainability of healthy behaviour throughout this stage will develop a healthy adult in the future. To our knowledge, no widely specific booklet is documented in Malay that emphasises the targeted population, which is primary school kids for public use. Therefore, this study intended to develop a child-friendly hypertension e-book for children aged 10-12. This research employed design and development research, which embodied three phases: (I) analysis of hypertension-related information, (II) design and development, and (III) expert validation. Seven experts selected and used the ECVIH to validate the e-book content.
