Summary

To study feasibility and implementation of a education videogame and the effects on adolescents knowledge and beliefs around tobacco products.

Detailed description

The goal for sub-study 4 is to learn more about how an educational videogame can feasibly be implemented and disseminated in youth programs. For this sub-study we will further develop, expand, and refine the smokeSCREEN game and increase the game's reach on a national platform. The study will conduct the proposed evaluation by: working with game developers to develop a web- based version of the game, creating a pre-post survey to measure the effect of the game and building that into the smokeSCREEN game to anonymously collect information on players' knowledge and beliefs around tobacco products, and collaborating with youth programs to pilot test how the game can be implemented in real world settings.
