After being awarded a second-round of innovation funding from Department of Health and Human Services Idea Lab in 2014, three CDC colleagues along with game industry partners produced a game developer challenge event: CDC/HHS Health Game Jam 2014, which focused on HIV Prevention strategies. This talk describes structure of the event, including recruitment of HHS subject matter experts and contest judging criteria. A follow-up population study among >100 Atlanta-area teens yielded positive results of playing the winning game. We will show that the federally supported game developer challenges provide an effective means of producing game prototypes which have impact among selected populations.
