Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Alpha game testers and questionaires

This a video game designed to help smokers quit & remain non-smokers. Before the start the game,the participant will fill out a brief questionnaire.

It should take about 5 minutes to complete. Once this is done, the game play should last about 30 minutes & will present with different scenes. These scenes will show situations that may trigger smoking urges such as walking into a room where another person is smoking. In the game, the participant will be able to use different ways of coping with urges to smoke such as taking several deep breaths or listening to music. The participant will be asked to talk aloud about what they think of the game. The participant will be video &/or audio recorded while doing this. Once finished testing the game, we will then ask you a few questions about what you thought of the game. We will also ask you how relevant different situations are to you as a smoker or someone who is trying to avoid smoking. The entire visit is expected to last about 1.5 hours.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Usability (10-item Game Usability Scale)
Time Frame: 1 time
we will ask each participant to complete a Game Usability Scale3 which is a robust and highly recommended 10-item measure of usability developed for software testing that provides a global view of subjective assessments of usability.
1 time
Satisfaction
Time Frame: 1 time
(users' subjective reactions to using the system) After the game play session, we will have participants complete an Avatar and Situation Menu Questionnaire so that participants can give feedback on 3 different avatars and 15 different coping with smoking challenges regarding how relevant each is to them as a smoker or someone trying to avoid smoking.
