Summary

This study is testing a virtual reality (VR) program called PrESR for teens ages 13-18 who are hospitalized for suicidal thoughts or behaviors. The VR program lets them practice coping skills in simulated school and social situations with a therapist's guidance. The study will check if the program is feasible and acceptable to teens, especially those from minority backgrounds. It is a small pilot trial with 26 participants and is not designed to prove the program works yet.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Virtual reality (VR) program called Practice Experiences for School Reintegration (PrESR)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a new way for teens to practice coping skills in realistic school and social settings while still in the hospital.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 26 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is designed to test feasibility, not effectiveness, so it may not show clear benefits.
