Evaluation of a virtual reality E-cigarette prevention game for adolescents

Elsevier (in the "Addictive Behaviors" journal)

Highlights • Invite Only VR is a virtual reality e-cigarette prevention game for adolescents. • Relative to control, some behavior change indicators improved over 6 months. • Behavior change indicators include e-cigarette knowledge and perceptions of harm. • Adolescents reported high satisfaction with gameplay and VR experience. • The game presents e-cigarette prevention material in an engaging format. See https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0306460321002124

Using Motion Tracking to Measure Avoidance in Children and Adults: ...

Elsevier (in the "Behavior Therapy" journal)

We developed a novel motion-tracking system to measure avoidance in children and adults. This publication covers some of the technical implementation work by PreviewLabs as well as findings from three different studies by Dr. Eli Lebowitz at the Yale Child Study Center. Taken together, these studies provide strong support for the promise of motion-tracking technology in behavioral avoidance research.
