| Abstract: Online programs such as webinars play important role in improving people's knowledge and update their skills regarding diseases related to their children's health such as iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Aim: To evaluate the effect of using a webinar educational program on mothers' knowledge and practices regarding iron deficiency anemia among their children. Subjects and Methods: Design: A Quasi-Experimental design (one group pre/post design) was utilized in the current research. Setting: The study was carried out at Sohag City, Egypt. Subjects: This study was applied to a purposive sample of 350 mothers. Tools: A self-administered questionnaire was used; it includes four parts: Demographic data of the mother, mothers' knowledge about iron deficiency anemia, mothers' reported practice about iron deficiency anemia, and webinar characteristics through Zoom link.Results: It was observed that less than three-quarters of the studied mothers aged from 18 to 29 years with a mean age of 27.2±1.3years. Most of the studied mothers didn't attend any courses before regarding iron deficiency anemia. It was noticed that webinars had a positive and significant effect on improving both knowledge and practices of mothers after implementation. Conclusion: Most of the mothers reported that online webinar educational programs had a positive effect on improving their knowledge and reported practices regarding iron deficiency anemia.
