Summary

The goal of this HRIDAYA project is to see if a digital mobile game can improve knowledge about heart disease among school-going adolescents. The researchers will divide adolescents of public and private schools into two groups. Each group will contain adolescents from both the school types. Knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of adolescents will be tested before intervention. One group will receive a mobile game and the other will not receive the game.

After two weeks of game play, the KAP of the adolescents will be tested again. The changes in KAP before and after playing the game in the two groups will be compared.

The participants will need to:

* Give pretest of KAP regarding CVD
* Download the game in their mobile devices.
* Install the game
* Play the game for 2 weeks
* Give post test of KAP regarding CVD
