Virtual Reality Viewing of Unaltered Streetscape Versus Digitally Manipulated Opposite Streetscape to Assess Psychosocial Response in Participants (NCT07216534)

Piloting a Virtual Reality-Based, Randomized Controlled Trial of Psychosocial Responses to Neighborhood Physical Disorder

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This clinical trial compares virtual reality viewing of an unaltered streetscape versus a digitally manipulated opposite streetscape to assess the psychosocial response in participants. Visible measures of neighborhood factors might be associated with health outcomes and risk factors of those outcomes. Short-term exposure to virtual reality environments representing very high or very low levels of neighborhood physical disorder - presence or absence of garbage/litter, presence or absence of graffiti, presence or absence of an abandoned building, presence or absence of large dumpsters, poor or very well-kept building conditions, poor or very well-kept yard conditions, poor or very well-kept road verge conditions may be a safe and effective way to assess psychosocial response in participants.
