Hinweis der Redaktion
- We have received a challenge. How do we use video game technology to communicate diabetes prevention and management information to poor families in rural Appalachia?
- This videogame will be part of a total health package that includes diabetes manuals for health professionals, videos of diabetes information, and many other resources.
- To answer all of these questions, we designed a research question involving our medium and desired result. The research question is as follows: what about video games allows them to effectively and innovatively communicate health information in ways that other methods have not?
