Improving ADHD Teen Driving - Virtual Reality
This study is testing two different training programs, FOCAL+ and VR-FOCAL+, to help teenagers with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) drive more safely. These programs aim to reduce how often teens look away from the road while driving, which can lead to accidents. You might be able to join if you are 16-19 years old, have ADHD, have a valid driver's license, and drive at least 3 hours a week without supervision. The study will look at how many times teens glance away from the road during simulated driving, both one month and six months after training. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This study plans to enroll 204 participants and is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment.
- What's involved
- Participants will complete weekly training sessions for 5 weeks. The training involves either a computer program or immersive virtual reality.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for 6 months after training to measure driving behaviors.

What this trial measures
- Number of extended glances away from the roadway during simulated driving1-month post-training
Participants will complete a simulated drive in a driving simulator with an integrated eye-tracking system. Participants will complete two 15-minute drives. During each drive, participants will engage in 14 secondary tasks. The secondary task consist of searching for streets on a GPS map for 20 seconds. Eye gaze will be sampled continuously. Eye gaze data will be summarized by calculating the number of extended (≥2 secs) glances away from the roadway during the 14 secondary task periods per drive. Descriptive estimates will reflect averages across the 2 drives. However, for analyses, estimates for each drive will be statistically modeled with a two-level drive variable.
