Board game about psychoactive drugs for visually disabled people

Objective: Evaluate the learning of visually disabled people after participating in an educational game about psychoactive drugs. Methods: Quasi-experimental research, conducted in an association of the blind and in an experimental laboratory of health teaching at a university, involving 60 blind people over the age of 18, blind or with low vision, literate in Braille or able to read texts with enlarged letters. The educational board game "Drugs: playing fair" was applied, which covers content on the concept, types of drugs, harms, risk factors, situations involving the use of drugs and protection/prevention factors. Learning was evaluated in an individual interview, before and after the application of the game, with questions organized by levels of complexity. Comparison of the number of hits evaluated using the McNemar test. Results: Questions of low complexity presented a significant difference (p=0.0001) in the hits after using the game and a high index of hits before and after (81.7% and 98.3%). There was no statistical difference in the medium and high complexity questions. Conclusion: The game Drugs: playing fair, significantly contributed to the learning of people with visual disabilities, representing a strategy to include individuals with disabilities in the access to information.
