Virtual reality offers teens a safe space to practice coping with suicidal thoughts

NCT ID NCT07186543

Summary

This study is testing a new virtual reality (VR) tool designed to help teenagers who are hospitalized for suicidal thoughts or behaviors. The VR program creates realistic school and social situations where teens can safely practice coping skills with a therapist's guidance while still in the hospital. The main goal is to see if this approach is practical and acceptable to teens, especially those from minority backgrounds, before planning larger studies.
