ABSTRACT

Electronic games have captured the attention of children, teens, and young adults. Although most play for fun and entertainment, research conducted on health games shows promise in their use as a tool for education. There is currently more interest in this field, and games are being designed and evaluated. Interactive game play could soon be an effective way to teach disease prevention and self-management.
