Greetings!
In partnership with Iain Chalmers and Andy Oxman, we are developing an
inventory of interactive applications and games that teach people
(consumers, decision-makers, professionals) how to be critical consumers of
information about the effects of health care. This inventory is being
developed as background work for an international network of researchers and
educators interested in improving public understanding of the effects of
health care.
As part of our search strategy, we are contacting key informants such as
yourself. If you are aware of any potentially relevant resources, we would
be *very* appreciative if you might be willing to pass them along!
Specifically, we are looking for resources meeting the following criteria:
-Support learning about the effects of health care
-Target the general population, decision-makers (e.g. policy makers), and/or
professional audiences (students, clinicians)
-Are interactive (support some type of two-way transfer of information,
including quizzes, simulations, games, data entry, adaptation, etc.)
-Are open access (freely accessible by the public) and free
-Web-based or downloadable
Some examples include:

tion
Thank you for your assistance!
Cheers,
