Abstract: A multimedia behavior modification system for promoting awareness and changing high-risk behaviors in areas of significant concern, for example, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, eating disorders, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, smoking cessation, substance abuse, campus violence, etc. The system includes the computer courseware and two exemplary architectures for presenting the courseware. The computer architectures may be a generic computer with specific multimedia capabilities, and a kiosk-type device with touch-screen capabilities. The courseware can also be delivered over a local area network (LAN), wide area network, or the internet. The courseware includes a selectable progression of modules including dynamic introductory modules leading to a combination of educational modules. The introductory modules are an installation step, a title page, an attention-getting teaser step, and a main menu. The main menu module provides user-selectable links to multiple primary learning modules.
