IU receives Health Games technology grant, sends students on Skeleton Chase

Researchers in IU Bloomington's School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, Kelley School of Business and College of Arts and Sciences will study whether their newly designed alternate reality game (ARG) can help college freshmen develop healthy habits that could last a lifetime. ARGs combine Web-based and other new technologies with real world, real time scenarios to challenge participants with puzzles, games, mysteries and other aspects of the interactive narrative. The researchers are targeting college freshmen, men and women arguably in one of the most exciting and stressful periods of their lives.

"There is a paucity of research addressing how to influence physical activity and health behaviors within this population," said Jeanne Johnston, assistant professor in the School of HPER's Department of Kinesiology and principal investigator of the grant. "The identification and evaluation of methods that target the unique characteristics of the college age population during this critical transition period in their lives is paramount to establishing lifelong healthy behaviors."
