Description
Valentina Gardini, Chiara Ruini, Eliana Tossani and colleagues set out a trial protocol for a virtual reality programme aimed at unhealthy habits in 2023. Instead of targeting one disorder, the HOME intervention tackles three shared drivers: poor emotion regulation, experiential avoidance and low psychological flexibility.
Groups at risk for nicotine dependence, alcohol abuse and eating problems will receive the VR programme or wait, with checks before, after and at three and six months. The team expects gains in behaviour, the three shared factors and stress. If it works, one transdiagnostic tool could serve several prevention programmes at once, which the authors argue would be cost-effective for general population health.
