First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a robot-assisted escape room game can help 5th and 6th graders learn about the harms of tobacco and e-cigarettes. About 200 students in Taiwan will either play the game or receive standard classroom lessons. Researchers will measure changes in knowledge, beliefs, and intentions to refuse smoking.
