Enhancing Men's Awareness of Testicular Diseases (E-MAT): A Feasibility Trial

University College Cork·interventional·Posted Dec 6, 2021·Updated Nov 30, 2022

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating E-MATVR and E-MATE for Testicular Diseases. Completed, enrolled 74 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Hypothesis: Is it feasible to conduct a definitive trial to test the effect of E-MATVR compared to E-MATE on primary and secondary outcomes among Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) members (players and coaches)? The overall aim of this study is to examine the feasibility of conducting a definitive trial to test the effect of an educational intervention to Enhance Men's Awareness of Testicular diseases using Virtual Reality (E-MATVR) among male GAA members. The effect of E-MATVR will be compared to E-MATE (control) which involves using the same information as E-MATVR delivered as plain text (e.g., PDF) with still images from E-MATVR.

Interventions

E-MATVRbehavioral

It involves using computer software uploaded onto wireless virtual reality (VR) technology (similar to downloading an app on a mobile phone) and will be delivered using a headset, handheld controllers, and voiceover (all wireless). E-MATVR comprises three serious gaming levels aimed at familiarising men with the normal look and feel of the testes, common testicular symptoms and diseases, and the importance of early help-seeking.

E-MATEbehavioral

It involves using the same information as EMATVR delivered as plain text (e.g., PDF) with still images from E-MATVR. Participants will be given approximately 10 minutes to read the text/look at images using a tablet (e.g., iPad).
