The problem
Intervention: Immersive virtual reality (IVR) program for parents of children aged <6 years, embedded in evidence-based parenting programs, addressing home safety hazard identification, hazard removal/mitigation, and parental supervision through experiential learning in simulated environments
Who it was tested with: Parents of children aged <6 years; providers of evidence-based parenting programs.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"The prototype was developed using human-centered design principles. The team first identified key components for program content using existing research and theory. Qualitative data were then collected from EBPP provider interviews (n=5) and focus groups with parents (n=7)... The initial prototype was then pilot tested with parents of children aged <6 years (n=5)." The design reflects practitioner-level evidence gathering through stakeholder feedback and preliminary prototype testing without rigorous outcome measurement or comparison groups.
This is a very early-stage proof-of-concept with minimal sample sizes and no measurement of actual behavior change, knowledge acquisition, or injury outcomes. The pilot test involved only 5 parents with no comparison group or baseline-endline measurement. The study provides design feedback but no evidence of whether the intervention works.
