Choosing an Effective Healthcare Spokesperson: An Interactive Intervention
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Who Would You Choose: Serious Fun for Surrogate Decision-making and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 207 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators developed a "serious game" intervention called "Who Would You Choose: Serious Fun" (WWYC) to help people consider the key qualities healthcare spokespersons should have. The intervention uses a spinner, cards, and dice, along with a smart-phone App to prompt players (using scenarios and metaphors) to choose a spokesperson whose qualities are best suited to the role. Friendly competition is encouraged by having players receive points for correct answers, and additional points for good explanations of their choices. At the end of the game, players identify a real-life spokesperson based on the qualities considered during game-play. Then, using an associated smart-phone App, the intervention will help spark communication between the player and their chosen spokesperson.
