Summary

This study tested whether a serious video game could teach teenagers basic life support (CPR) as effectively as a traditional class. 117 high school students aged 15-17 were split into two groups: one played the Lifesaver video game, the other had a lecture and hands-on practice. Their CPR knowledge and skills were tested right after training, then again at 1 month and 6 months. The goal was to see if the video game approach was a good alternative for teaching these life-saving skills.
