We are a group of health professionals and researchers who are developing an inventory of interactive applications and games that teach people (consumers, decision-makers, professionals) how to be discrimintating users 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 health research
If you are aware of any potentially relevant resources, we would be grateful if you would tell us about them.
Specifically, we are looking for resources meeting the following criteria:
-Support learning about the effects of health care or how to appraise health research
-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:
