A Mobile App Serious Game to Increase Awareness of Antibiotic Use in the Community

"The SteWARdS Antibiotic Defense app is an evidence-based serious game app developed by the study team. The app uses gamification theories to increase user engagement and to deliver bite-sized information to participants. For example, players will learn about the uses of antibiotics through the messages delivered through the game and the cost of tackling antibiotic-resistant infections through purchasing an expensive antibiotic with the virtual currency earned from the games."
