An interventional study of AMRageddon in Antimicrobial Stewardship and Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), sponsored by Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Completed at 1 site in Norway. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-07.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a One Health-based educational intervention in second-year medical students from the veterinary university in Norway
The main question it aims to answer is:
Researchers will compare students who receive AMRageddon (intervention arm) with students who receive lecture-based teaching (control arm) to see if the gamified approach leads to greater improvements in knowledge, awareness, and behaviour.
Participants will:

Exclusion Criteria:
Veterinary students will be asked to use AMRageddon in place of attending a standard pre-established lecture during their academic training. The participants will be asked to complete a baseline questionnaire, and a questionnaire following the intervention.
Other: AMRageddon
Students will receive the standard format of learning of AMR and One Health during their lecture. The participants will have to complete a baseline questionnaire and a follow up questionnaire after the intervention.
AMRageddon is a digital escape room game created by the research team. The app uses gamification and game-elements to increase user engagement and to deliver information to partiapnts. AMRageddon is based on the WHO Health Workers Education and Training on Antimicrobial Resistance Curricula Guide and WHO Competency Framework for Health Workers' Education and Training on Antimicrobial Resistance.
Change in the knowledge, attitudes, and perception of participants towards antibiotics and One Health.
A pre- and post-test will be shared to the students prior and after the intervention. This will be in the format of a questionnaire. The primary outcome was a knowledge test with 24 questions with subsections including clinical decision making skills assessment (8 questions), knowledge (4), awareness (4) and behaviour assessments (4). A correct score was awarded 1 point.
Time frame: Baseline and immediately after the intervention
User-experience Questionnaire - Short version
Experience with the gamification elements and how integrated and influential the games elements were for the students. The investigators will also use User Experience Questionnaire - short version (UEQ-S) which is an 8 bipolar item 7-point semantic differential scale. This is used to assess hedonic and pragmatic quality of the intervention.
Time frame: Immediately completing AMRageddon
System Usability Scale Survey
The investigators will use the system usability scale (SUS) which is a 10 item Likert scale. The SUS scale is scored out of 100, which indicates acceptability of the intervention compared to benchmarks.
Time frame: Immediately after completing AMRageddon
Plan to share: No — IPD will not be shared because participant consent and privacy protections do not permit sharing of de-identified individual-level data beyond the study team.
