| Popis: | Knowledge of social determinants of health (SDH) can help students reduce health disparities and advance health equity and quality of life. This pilot study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Strategies for Health, an interprofessional game, in improving student knowledge regarding SDH as well as attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration when compared to or combined with didactic coursework. A mixed methods approach was utilized. Participants (N = 42) were divided into one of four groups: Control (A), gameplay (B), didactic module (C), and a combined didactic module followed by gameplay (D). Data was collected using a knowledge base test of SDH, the Interprofessional Attitudes Scale (IPAS), and qualitative feedback during gameplay and debriefing. SDH results indicated no significant differences within groups, but a combined pre-post indicated a significant improvement among Group D (p = .04). IPAS results indicated a statistically significant improvement in interprofessional attitudes of teamwork, roles, and responsibilities among Groups B and D. A combination of didactic learning and gameplay was the most effective approach to improving and maintaining SDH knowledge and attitudes toward IPE over time. These findings inform the need for interprofessional curricula that aim to improve health outcomes and advance health equity. |
