Games provide an interactive medium that allows complex information to be communicated to diverse audiences. This has wide implications for science, health education and policy making. There is precedent to propose that a game for understanding real public health data may be able to help key stakeholders to better simulate, understand and resolve public health issues. These stakeholders include scientists developing hypotheses about public health, the lay population, who are targets of health education campaigns, as well as policy makers who seek to understand how different health and social factors interact and to simulate how policies may affect them. This PhD will build upon a project funded by the Jean Golding Institute and the MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit (IEU), which has designed a platform for turning complex health data into an interactive game. Over the next three years, I will testthe usefulness of this platform for different stakeholders and evaluate the best methods for promoting the understanding of complex health data.

游戏提供了一种互动的媒介，可以将复杂的信息传达给不同的受众。这对科学、卫生教育和政策制定具有广泛的影响。有先例表明，理解真实的公共卫生数据的游戏可能有助于关键利益攸关方更好地模拟、理解和解决公共卫生问题。这些利益攸关方包括提出公共卫生假设的科学家、作为健康教育运动目标的非专业人口，以及寻求了解不同健康和社会因素如何相互作用并模拟政策如何影响他们的决策者。该博士学位将建立在由Jean Golding研究所和MRC综合流行病学单位（IEU）资助的项目基础上，该项目设计了一个将复杂的健康数据转化为互动游戏的平台。在接下来的三年里，我将测试这个平台对不同利益相关者的有用性，并评估促进理解复杂健康数据的最佳方法。
