Percentage of Adolescent Participants in Which Intervention Delivered With Greater Than or Equal to 80% Fidelity Primary · Baseline

Percentage of participants in which adherence to delivery of key components of intervention (i.e., skill lessons or practice sessions) across sessions in each condition was 80% or greater. Adherence was calculated based on the number of key components completed relative to the total number of key components expected to be completed for each participant.

Percent of adolescents with average acceptability score less than or equal to 2 (or "agree") on a five-point scale from 1 (strongly agree) to 5 (strongly disagree). Note that the number of participants to start a Period is not equal to the number who completed previous Period for "Affect Regulation + Problem Solving" and "Cognitive Restructuring + Problem Solving" because 1 participant in each condition was withdrawn or withdrew, and due to missing post-baseline data for "Problem Solving" (1 participant), "Cognitive Restructuring" (1 participant), "Affect Regulation + Cognitive Restructuring"

Note that the number of participants to start a Period is not equal to the number who completed previous Period for Hospital Professionals because 7 professionals consented into the study, but only 4 delivered the intervention to a patient following consent.

Adolescents' Perceptions of Acceptability Primary · Baseline

Qualitative feedback provided by adolescents receiving the intervention in the Optimization Trial about acceptability of the intervention.

Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov

Time frame: For the Optimization Trial, from signing the informed consent until the 3-Month Return to School Follow-Up or early withdrawal. This time was dependent on the duration of hospital stay and timing of return to school and therefore varied greatly (ranging from 1 day to 405 days). For the Open Trial Period, adverse events for the Adolescent Patients Selected by Hospital Professionals were only monitored during intervention delivery.. Reporting threshold: 5%. Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.

Sponsor's own description

This study is developing and refining a novel Virtual Reality (VR) supplement for inpatient treatment: the Practice Experiences for School Reintegration (PrESR) program. The PrESR will provide immersive school experiences for inpatient adolescents (with suicidal-related admissions) to practice skills in real-world settings with the guidance of a trained clinician within the confines of a hospital. This pilot study follows a Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) to conduct a pilot optimization trial of the PrESR to inform the feasibility of training clinicians, the ability to recruit adolescent inpatient participants, and management of experimental conditions. This study is not powered to test hypotheses; however, in addition to assessing feasibility and acceptability, this pilot trial will assess candidate intermediary and outcome measures.
