Pilot Study of Parent Training With Role-plays in Virtual Reality for Parents of Children With Behavior Problems
This pilot study tests a parenting program that combines cognitive behavioral therapy with virtual reality role-plays. Parents of children aged 8 to 16 with defiant or aggressive behavior practice parenting skills in VR during clinic sessions. Researchers are measuring early signs of effectiveness and whether parents stick with it. This is a Phase NA pilot study, meaning it is exploratory and very early stage, not a test of a proven treatment.
