Because of three professors at the University of Central Florida, recovering addicts may one day learn those skills through a role-playing video game.
The game, titled "Guardian Angel," is being developed for Health Games Research by UCF professors Dr. Marcia Verduin, Clint Bowers and Janice Cannon-Bowers, in conjunction with the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Charleston, S.C.
