Study finds video games have wide ranging impact: From elderly rehabilitation and pediatric care to mental health and Indigenous community support.
A recent ESAC survey found that 76% of respondents reported that playing video games helped them feel less stressed, with 63% reporting anxiety relief. These potential benefits are being explored further in professional settings, with video games being leveraged as therapeutic tools for both children and adults.
This report went beyond health care to look at community and professional support. All in all, video games provided an extremely beneficial technology with broad reach for Canadians.
These results track closely with USA industry surveys released earlier this year.
