| Impact statement: This pilot study demonstrates that using age-appropriate interactive tools, such as comic books, animations, and art competitions, significantly improves AMR knowledge among schoolchildren, who can then influence their families' health practices. Crucially, the evidence from this research led the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to officially request that the Ministry of Education incorporate AMR topics into Bangladesh's national secondary education curriculum. | Collaboration: NGO | Keywords: antimicrobial resistance; schoolchildren; awareness |
