Death rates for all major causes of death are higher for Hispanics and African Americans than Caucasians, which contributes to a lower life expectancy. There is a profound causal relationship that has linked deficiencies in people's level of education with their level of health literary. A 1999 assessment found that the age adjusted mortality rate of high school dropouts ages 25 to 64 was more than twice the mortality rate of persons that have some college background. Knowledge is ultimately accrued at the individual level and starts at early ages. Effective mechanisms utilized to improve health literacy is essential to reducing the disparity gap that exist between minorities and Caucasians. In response to these findings, JCM Design is committed to researching and studying the effectiveness of game - based learning ("GmBL") in an effort to improve health literacy and academic performance indicators for minority children and adolescents. - Jerdonnis C.
