No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Dengue can be mitigated by both vector control and vaccination. Serious games in healthcare can be used to raise the community awareness of vector control in dengue prevention in a simulated interactive learning environment, by motivating serious game participants to optimise their own performance and influence their behaviour. The results show a specially designed serious game can better engage local residents by raising their awareness in vector control and proactiveness in dengue prevention. At least 8 out of 10 participants were willing to be vaccinated against dengue if they knew of the availability of a safe and effective vaccine.
