Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Beliefs about smoking pre-test survey

  Participants completed a pre-survey through a secured, data collection website (Qualtrics Data Collection Software) and then played the videogame intervention. Fourteen questions were designed from the National Youth Tobacco Survey (2014)13 that focused on beliefs about cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and flavored tobacco were used. For beliefs, questions had 4-5 choices ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree or definitely yes to definitely not, or 5 response choices ranging from very unlikely to very likely.

  Baseline

• Beliefs about smoking post-test survey

  Participants completed a post-survey through a secured, data collection website (Qualtrics Data Collection Software), after they have played the videogame intervention. Fourteen questions were designed from the National Youth Tobacco Survey (2014)13 that focused on beliefs about cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and flavored tobacco were used for the survey. For beliefs, questions had 4-5 choices ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree or definitely yes to definitely not, or 5 response choices ranging from very unlikely to very likely.

• Knowledge about smoking pre-test survey

  Participants completed a pre-survey through a secured, data collection website (Qualtrics Data Collection Software), played the videogame intervention. Fourteen questions were designed from the National Youth Tobacco Survey (2014)13 that focused on knowledge about cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and flavored tobacco were used for the surveys. For knowledge, questions had 3 response choices (yes, not, and not sure).

  Baseline

• Knowledge about smoking post-test survey.

  Participants completed a pre-survey through a secured, data collection website (Qualtrics Data Collection Software), played the videogame intervention, and then completed a post-survey using the same data collection website. Fourteen questions were designed from the National Youth Tobacco Survey (2014)13 that focused on knowledge about cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and flavored tobacco were used for the survey. For knowledge, questions had 3 response choices (yes, not, and not sure).

  immediately after game play is completed

• Game experience satisfaction post-test survey

  The post-test survey included an additional 5 items on game experience and satisfaction from items designed for a previous videogame study on sexual risk reduction in young adolescents (e.g., "I would tell my friends to play this game," 4 response choices, ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree).
