    Publication . Braga-Pontes, Cátia; Custódio, Susana; Graça, Pedro
    Background: Nutrition education tools to promote vegetable consumption in the school context appear as enhancers of children's knowledge and eating behaviors. The purpose of this study is to assess the perspective of the different stakeholders of the Veggies4myHeart project regarding the potential of a digital game, child storybook and the Portuguese Food Wheel Guide to promote vegetable consumption in preschool age. Methods: The sample consisted of 26 participants who were involved in Veggies4myHeart project. This is a qualitative study, using thematic content analysis. The answers were analyzed using the WebQDA qualitative analysis software. Results: Considering the SWOT analysis were identified strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for each nutrition education tool. Participants identified a greater number of positive and negative aspects regarding digital game. Conclusions: This study has allowed the perspective of creators and/or users of food education tools to be known in relation to their potential to promote the consumption of vegetables at pre-school age. A SWOT analysis of each food education tool gives the possibility to know the constraints or potentialities that may be associated with the dissemination of these tools in the educational community.
