Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to identify home safety hazards for adolescents with acquired brain injury and to identify adaptations to the home healthcare virtual simulation training system (HH-VSTS) to improve the user experience for adolescents with ABI

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will determine the home safety hazards that place adolescents with ABI at risk of injury. In addition, the study will determine ways to adapt our current home safety virtual simulation training system, a game based training and assessment that trains home healthcare workers to identify and respond to hazards they encounter in client homes. The study will include interviews with three stakeholders groups: adolescents with ABI, parents of adolescents with ABI, and healthcare providers working with adolescents with ABI to identify home safety hazards encountered by adolescents with ABI. We will demonstrate proof of concept for adolescents with ABI through assessment of safety concerns from multiple perspectives and evaluation of design considerations from our intended user-group. Further, we are applying the HH-VSTS in a novel way to solve an understudied problem in adolescents with ABI. In addition, we will apply a user-centered, participatory approach to assess the design consideration of virtual gaming technologies to health and safety training adolescents with ABI.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Adolescents with Acquired Brain Injury

Adolescents with traumatic brain injury, stroke, and other acquired brain injury ages 12 - 17 will participate in interviews about home safety. They also will have the opportunity to look at and, if desired, try the virtual simulation training system and provide feedback about how to make it more appropriate for adolescents with brain injury, including gamifying it and ensuring appropriate hazards.

No interventions assigned to this group

Caregivers of Adolescents with Acquired Brain Injury

Caregivers of adolescents with traumatic brain injury, stroke, and other acquired brain injury will participate in interviews about home safety. They also will have the opportunity to look at the virtual simulation training system and provide feedback about how to make it more appropriate for adolescents with brain injury, including gamifying it and ensuring appropriate hazards.

No interventions assigned to this group

Healthcare Workers

This cohort includes health professionals involved in discharge planning and community re-integration of adolescents with ABI. Healthcare workers will participate in interviews about home safety. They also will have the opportunity to look at the virtual simulation training system and provide feedback about how to make it more appropriate for adolescents with brain injury, including gamifying it and ensuring appropriate hazards.
