Detecting drug use in adolescents using a 3D simulation program

This work presents a new 3D simulation program, called MiiSchool, and its application to the detection of problem behaviours appearing inschool settings. We begin by describing some of the main features of the MiiSchool program. Then, we present the results of a study in which adolescentsresponded to Mii School simulations involving the consumption of alcoholicdrinks, cigarettes, cannabis, cocaine, and MDMA (ecstasy). We established a?risk profile? based on the observed response patterns. We also present resultsconcerning user satisfaction with the program and the extent to which users feltthat the simulated scenes were realistic. Lastly, we discuss the usefulness of MiiSchool as a tool for assessing drug use in school settings
