Die Genschere CRISPR‐Cas9 gilt als Wunderwaffe der Biochemie. Mit dieser Methode lässt sich das Erbgut von Menschen, Tieren, Pflanzen und Mikroorganismen so genau, schnell und einfach verändern wie nie zuvor. Dies macht sie zum großen Hoffnungsträger in Medizin und Agrarwirtschaft. Als Jennifer Doudna und Emmanuelle Charpentier 2012 das Verfahren beschrieben, war vielen klar, dass es sich um eine Revolution in der Gentechnik handelt. Nun erhalten die zwei Wissenschaftlerinnen dafür den Nobelpreis für Chemie. Mithilfe der CRISPR‐Cas9‐Technik können Forscher herausfinden, wie Krankheiten wie Diabetes oder Alzheimer entstehen aber auch Pflanzen erzeugen, die gegenüber Hitze, Schädlingen und Trockenheit weniger empfindlich sind. Das Potenzial der Genschere erscheint fast grenzenlos. Sie kann helfen, neue Krebstherapien zu entwickeln oder Erbkrankheiten zu heilen, aber sie könnte auch verwendet werden, um Menschen gezielt zu „gestalten“, was viele ethische Fragen aufwirft und manche Gerichte bereits beschäftigt hat.

“…These limitations in access to treatment cannot be addressed solely by growing the existing mental health system [ 13 ]; rather, the solution requires a variety of approaches, including a fundamental shift in delivery mechanisms that will necessarily involve digital solutions [ 14 - 16 ]. There are already several examples of digital systems for interventions in the domain of mental health.…”

BackgroundDesigners of digital interventions for mental health often leverage interactions from games because the intrinsic motivation that results from game-based interventions may increase participation and translate into improved treatment efficacy. However, there are outstanding questions about the suitability (eg, are desktop or mobile interventions more appropriate?) and intervention potential (eg, do people with depression activate enough to play?) of games for mental health.ObjectiveIn this paper, we aimed to describe the presently unknown relationship between gaming activity and indicators of well-being so that designers make informed choices when designing game-based interventions for mental health.MethodsWe gathered validated scales of well-being (Beck’s Depression Inventory [BDI-II], Patient Health Questionnaire [PHQ-9], trait anxiety [TA], and basic psychological needs satisfaction [BPNS]), play importance (control over game behavior: control; gamer identity: identity), and play behavior (play frequency, platform preferences, and genre preferences) in a Web-based survey (N=491).ResultsThe majority of our participants played games a few times a week (45.3%, 222/490) or daily (34.3%, 168/490). In terms of depression, play frequency was associated with PHQ-9 (P=.003); PHQ-9 scores were higher for those who played daily than for those who played a few times a week or less. Similarly, for BDI-II (P=.01), scores were higher for those who played daily than for those who played once a week or less. Genre preferences were not associated with PHQ-9 (P=.32) or BDI-II (P=.68); however, platform preference (ie, mobile, desktop, or console) was associated with PHQ-9 (P=.04); desktop-only players had higher PHQ-9 scores than those who used all platforms. Platform preference was not associated with BDI-II (P=.18). In terms of anxiety, TA was not associated with frequency (P=.23), platform preference (P=.07), or genre preference (P=.99). In terms of needs satisfaction, BPNS was not associated with frequency (P=.25) or genre preference (P=.53), but it was associated with platform preference (P=.01); desktop-only players had lower needs satisfaction than those who used all platforms. As expected, play frequency was associated with identity (P<.001) and control (P<.001); those who played more had identified more as a gamer and had less control over their gameplay. Genre preference was associated with identity (P<.001) and control (P<.001); those who played most common genres had higher control over their play and identified most as gamers. Platform preference was not associated with control (P=.80), but was with identity (P=.001); those who played on all devices identified more as a gamer than those who played on mobiles or consoles only.ConclusionsOur results suggest that games are a suitable approach for mental health interventions as they are played broadly by people across a range of indicators of mental health. We further unpack the platform preferences and genre preferences of players with varying levels of well-b...
