| Abstract | This study evaluated a pair of video games called the RePresent games that taught users how to represent themselves in civil court. A quasi-experimental study was conducted that compared 69 RePresent game users and 78 non-game users with civil legal issues across four U.S. states on legal, mental health and psychosocial outcomes over 3 months. The results revealed that RePresent game users reported greater legal knowledge, better mental health and higher quality of life than non-game users across time, and a greater rate of improvement in legal knowledge than non-game users over time. These findings suggest that gamifying education about legal procedures for the general public holds great potential in helping individuals obtain self-help legal assistance although some formal mental health treatment may be needed for many seeking legal aid. © 2022 The Australian and New Zealand Association of Psychiatry, Psychology and Law. |
