Virtual Role-Plays to Reduce the Occurrence of Childhood Obesity
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Educational Intervention and Wait List Control for Childhood Obesity. Completed, enrolled 44 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is looking at the feasibility and efficacy of using SIMmersion's PeopleSim technology to train providers through role playing simulations to effectively conduct discussions with parents to provide intervention for, and reduce the likelihood of progression to childhood obesity.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The educational intervention will be the online simulation training program. Participants will be taught how to use the simulation during a 30 minute orientation session with a research staff person. We will use a mastery based approach rather than prescribing an absolute number of hours participants need to play. The criteria are as follows: 1) achieving a score of 90% or more on 2 out of the last 3 simulations played or 2) maximum of 8 hours of play, whichever comes first. After the orientation sessions, training sessions will be completed by participants on their own. The research team will confirm remote usage, and contact participants by email and phone to prompt usage as needed. The research team anticipates that the proposed method will accommodate for participant schedules while still ensuring intervention compliance.
Access to the online simulation training after the follow-up measurement visit is complete
