Use Cases

• Evaluate the effectiveness of gamification for health education based on pre- and post-intervention knowledge scores.
• Analyze the long-term retention of health knowledge based on follow-up assessments conducted 3–5 months post-intervention.
• Conduct subgroup analyses of educational interventions based on variables like age, gender, and school area socioeconomic context.
• Model changes in ordinal score categories using ordinal logistic regression techniques based on the reported odds ratios.

Strengths

• Dataset includes results from 370 participants, providing a multi-centre sample.
• Study design includes a follow-up period of 3–5 months to assess knowledge retention.
• Analysis includes specific statistical results, such as an odds ratio of 19.76 (95% CI 13.88–28.57).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
