An in-depth understanding of stakeholders' experiences about their participation in the co-production of 'Maze Out': a serious game for the treatment of eating disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Co-production is increasingly used in mental health research and clinical settings. Maze Out is a digital game co-produced by clinicians, patients with eating disorders (EDs), an art director with lived experience in EDs, and a game-developing company. Maze Out is based on everyday challenges when suffering from EDs and is currently being evaluated as a supplement tool in EDs treatment. Several studies on co-producing mental health interventions focus on design and effectiveness, but the experiences of those involved in the co-production process remain unexplored. An in-depth exploration of stakeholders' experiences offers valuable insights into the impact of co-production on different groups and generates crucial knowledge for successful implementation.
