项目摘要

Increasing numbers of youths with depression and anxiety symptoms and the lack of enough specilists to help them (Merry, 2012) highlights the need for more relevant, accessible and targeted approaches for treatments. Numerous studies have shown that young people tend to gravitate towards gaming and that serious videogames are effective in changing health-related behaviour (Baranowsky, 2011). It is proposed to tackle the issues of inaccessibility of professionals as well as self motivation to seek out care by developing a serious videogame/mobile app that would diagnose, offer customised treatment and preventative care by establishing resilience to environmental stressors from an early age.The work will be carried out in 3 phases - phase 1 will seek to determine factors contributing to motivation, while phase 2 will explore what types of information would improve a game's or app's effectiveness (eg healthy lifestyle information). Phase 2 will also involve game/app design workshops with youths to ensure the game/app is relevant to this potential user group as well as building and test protoypes. The final phase will involve usability testing of a fully working version of the game/app with follow-up testing over longer periods (3 months+). It is hoped to pursue longitudinal studies as well to establish effectiveness in the longer term.

越来越多的青少年出现抑郁和焦虑症状，缺乏足够的专科医生来帮助他们(Merry，2012)，这突显了需要更相关、更容易获得和更有针对性的治疗方法。大量研究表明，年轻人倾向于玩游戏，严肃的视频游戏在改变与健康相关的行为方面是有效的(Baranowsky，2011)。建议通过开发一款严肃的视频游戏/移动应用程序来解决专业人员无法接触到的问题以及寻求护理的自我动机，该应用程序将通过从小建立对环境应激源的适应能力来诊断、提供定制治疗和预防性护理。这项工作将分三个阶段进行-第一阶段将寻求确定影响动机的因素，而第二阶段将探索哪些类型的信息将提高游戏或应用程序的有效性(例如健康的生活方式信息)。第二阶段还将包括面向年轻人的游戏/应用程序设计研讨会，以确保游戏/应用程序与这一潜在用户群体相关，以及构建和测试原型。最后阶段将包括游戏/应用程序的完全工作版本的可用性测试，并在更长的时间内(3个月以上)进行后续测试。人们还希望继续进行纵向研究，以确定长期的有效性。
