KRCC’s Generation Rx is a virtual experience where students assume the lead identity of lead characters in an interactive movie. Users face real-life dilemmas and must make difficult decisions regarding the illegal use of prescription drugs. The program allows users to choose their own storyline and experience the consequences of their decisions.
Generation Rx encourages students to think through realistic and potentially life threatening circumstances, giving them the practical knowledge to make solid decisions when confronted with similar complex situations in real life.
