Alchemy Knights: Mapping Game Design to Transformational Outcomes - Dmitriy Babichenko, Prof, Univ of Pittsburgh & Lorin Grieve, PharmD, Instructor, School of Pharmacy, Univ of Pittsburgh & Ravi Patel, PharmD, Lead Innovation Advisor, Univ of Pittsburgh
AlchemyKnights is a transformational game designed to teach adolescents and teens about the dangers of over-the-counter medication misuse. In this session we will discuss design strategies for transformational games, mapping design features to transformational outcomes, and using an iterative develop-playtest-fix approach to evaluate and measure the transformational effect.

participants
10. • By age sixteen, 1 in 5 adolescents have self-medicated
with an OTC
• Last decade, increase in poison center calls from
adolescents misusing OTC medications
12. Specific Objectives
• Enhance the participant’s ability to understand and identify unsafe
medication use
• Informing on basic aspects of medications
• importance of active ingredients
• importance of dosage schedules
• dangers of taking multiple medications that interact
• Facilitate participant-pharmacist communication
21. Pilot
• 9 students, age 15 to 17
• 5/4 :: Male/Female
• Seven Yes/No statements about medication use
• Open-ended questions for feedback
22. • More medicine makes you get better faster.
• You can’t be hurt from medicine purchased in a pharmacy.
• The active ingredient is what lets a medicine help you get better.
• The label on the bottle explains how much of a medicine to take.
• Not following the instructions on the label is dangerous.
• If you take a medicine correctly there should never be side-effects.
• Taking medicine when you are not sick is safe.
23. Outcome - Observations
• 7 of 9 subjects changed a Yes/No answer in the post test
• Increase in correct answers from Pre to Post
• Correct Dosing
• Active Ingredients
• Behavior observations
24. • “I really like the potions, you could overdose. I liked that a lot, I like using that
a lot”
• “It was more interactive than other games”
• Lack of WASD support, lack of potion hotkeys
• “Only use the potions when you need them”
• “Don’t overdose”
• “Drugs give you magical powers”

Editor's Notes
Explain our mercenary position
Narrative
Vulnerable populations, intentional vs unintentional OTC misuse
Common medication - DXM, APAP
2013 American Association of Poison Control Centers National Poison Data
14.6% of pediatric deaths resulted from intentional misuse of OTC medications containing diphenhydramine, acetaminophen, and DXM
Population - Challenges with behaviors
Impulsivity, Accessibility
Over 50% of all OTC medication-related poisonings and emergency department visits as Adolescent OTC med misuse
A recent CDC report documented a 91% increase in poisoning deaths from 2000-2009 among adolescents aged 15 to 19 (nearly doubled, 1.7 to 3.3 per 100,000), due to an increase in unsafe and inappropriate use of medications.
