In this episode, we dive into an innovative research project that explores how microgames can combat health misinformation in vulnerable communities. The researchers behind the study developed three unique microgame prototypes—a trivia game, a social media simulation, and an interactive fiction narrative—each designed to engage and educate players. Through real-world testing with healthcare providers, community educators, and the target audience, the interactive fiction narrative emerged as the most engaging and impactful, showcasing the power of storytelling in promoting behavior change.

Join us as we uncover the potential of microgames as cost-effective and powerful tools for tackling health misinformation head-on. Discover how these bite-sized games could reshape health education and empower communities to make informed decisions. If you're passionate about health, gaming, or innovative solutions to modern challenges, this episode is a must-listen!
