Enhancing flood evacuation behaviour through Serious Disaster Game (SDG): Flood Alert!
Article in Jamba (Potchefstroom, South Africa), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Disaster education has been using a conventional module-based approach, which is only a one-way information transfer process. This research aims to develop and test the Serious Disaster Games (SDG): Flood Alert to improve flood evacuation behaviour and intrinsic motivation as measured by two indicators, namely knowledge about best evacuation practices and self-efficacy in dealing with flood emergencies. This research used a one-group pre-test-post-test design involving 45 students. The results showed that the SDG: Flood Alert effectively improved students' knowledge and self-efficacy about flood disasters. Most students were able to respond well to actions before, during and after a flood event. Students are confident that they can effectively respond during flooding emergencies. Students with high self-efficacy tend to take protective actions in the face of disasters. The result of the intrinsic motivation assessment found that students enjoy learning by using the SDG: Flood Alert! Contribution: This study contributed towards enhancement of students' knowledge regarding flood disasters. It was achieved by using the SDG: Flood Alert, which is designed using experiential learning cycle theory, and provides a fun learning experience for students. The SDG: Flood Alert has the potential to be used as a flood disaster learning media for students in flood-prone areas.
