Today, with just a smartphone, people can easily access thousands of sources of health-related information. However, alongside useful knowledge, there is also a large amount of unverified and even misleading information that can cause confusion and make it difficult for families to choose the right healthcare practices. Therefore, community health training programs continue to play a vital role, not only in providing reliable knowledge but also in helping people learn how to access, evaluate, and apply information correctly.
