“…The young people have started to go out to work, so that the inheritance of the food culture is facing a crisis. Therefore, it is a suitable experimental site to study the sustainable development of Chinese villages in the face of the cultural impact and business opportunities brought by tourism [7]. Therefore, we selected the Glossy region of Fujian as the sample for the food design study.…”

In the process of economic globalization and urbanization, China's countryside has shown a trend of decline, which has led to rural areas facing tremendous pressure in economic development and cultural inheritance and has become a focus of social concern. However, in recent years, with the gradual recognition of local culture, traditional Chinese regional food culture has been attracting more and more attention and admiration from young people, and it has become an opportunity for rural development through the dissemination and experience of traditional regional food culture. To transform traditional countryside food into a usable value resource and help countryside economic development, this study selected the countryside in the northern region of Fujian, China, as the research object and explored the methods of countryside food design and innovation, especially the method of collaborative innovation applied to the countryside food design process. Through stakeholder analysis, designers organize collaborative design workshops, inviting sellers, artisans of traditional food production, local government, and regional and foreign food consumers to participate in the design and development process and transform traditional food culture and food into consumer-approved food products. The process and framework of rural traditional food design innovation are constructed, and the model can be directly applied to other cases of rural design innovation.

Misinformation related to vaccines has been shown to potentially negatively impact public perceptions and intentions to vaccinate in many contexts including COVID-19 vaccination in Ghana. Psychological inoculation – where recipients are warned about the misleading techniques used in misinformation – is a potential intervention which could preemptively boost public resistance against misinformation. Cranky Uncle Vaccine is an interactive, digital game that applies inoculation, offering a scalable tool building public resilience against vaccine misinformation and promoting positive health-related behaviors. In this study, we document the process of developing and testing a West African version of Cranky Uncle Vaccine , with co-design workshops and a pilot test conducted in urban and peri-urban areas of the Greater Accra region of Ghana with 829 young people who had access to mobile and computer devices. The average age was 21.8 and participants were highly educated (median education level “Some/all university”) with slightly more females (51.2%) than males (48.4%). Pilot participants filled out surveys before and after playing the game, measuring vaccine attitudes (pre-game M = 3.4, post-game M = 3.6), intent to get vaccinated (pre-game M = 3.5, post-game M = 3.6), and discernment between vaccine facts and fallacies (pre-game AUC = 0.72, post-game AUC = 0.75). We observed a significant improvement in attitudes toward vaccines, with players demonstrating increased likelihood to get vaccinated after completing the game. Among players who indicated that they were unlikely to get vaccinated in the pre-game survey ( N = 52, or 6.3% of participants), just over half of these participants (53%) switched to likely to get vaccinated after playing the game. Perceived reliability of vaccine facts remained the same, while perceived reliability of vaccine fallacies significantly decreased, indicating improved ability to spot misleading arguments about vaccines. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of a digital game in building public resilience against vaccine misinformation as well as improving vaccine attitudes and intent to get vaccinated.
