Summary

To examine the effects on participants who play the smokeSCREEN game in that the game will have positive changes in their attitudes, beliefs, knowledge, intentions, behaviors and other outcomes related to smoking and tobacco products.

Detailed description

For this project, the CVS Pharmacy Health Foundation has identified after-school, school, and youth programs nationwide with whom to partner. For this project, the play2PREVENT Lab will provide these programs access to the tobacco use reduction/prevention game that the lab has created (smokeSCREEN). Program and school staff will enroll participants between the ages of 10-16 to play smokeSCREEN during their after school, school, and youth program. Before and after gameplay, participants will answer assessment questions related to their attitudes, beliefs, knowledge, intentions, and behaviors around smoking and tobacco product use. The data will be transmitted electronically via the LimeSurvey data collection platform to the Lab, for further analysis. None of the Lab staff will have contact with participants or after-school/school/youth program coordinators or staff.
