Doctors try VR to confront hidden weight bias
NCT ID NCT07283523
Summary
This pilot study is testing whether watching virtual reality (VR) videos of patient encounters can help reduce weight-based bias in resident physicians. Researchers will compare VR videos showing clinical encounters to neutral educational videos to see if they change doctors' implicit bias scores. The study involves about 52 resident doctors from Brigham and Women's Hospital who will take bias tests before and after the VR experience.
