This study explores how digital games can be designed to shift harmful social and gender norms related to intimate partner violence (IPV). Participants will take part in co-design and playtesting sessions to provide feedback on a prototype game created using a gender-transformative approach. Participants’ input will help refine the game’s design, ensuring it resonates with young men and effectively promotes healthy, equitable relationships.

We are recruiting cisgendered, heterosexual men between the ages of 18-25 to complete:

• 1 hour prototype and/or play testing session; and

• 1 hour individual interview

There is a $30 digital gift card honorarium for participating in this study (choice of Uber, Starbucks or Amazon).

If you are interested in participating in the study, please read the Study Information Letter and complete the eligibility survey.
