Summary
This pilot project aims to establish evidence to investigate whether a virtual reality intervention can be implemented to reduce anxiety and efficiently prepare children for non-sedated MRI assessments. The study consists of comparing the current modes of delivery though a mock behavioural assessment and inquiry into the acceptability and utility of the intervention components, including potential barriers to adherence or behavioural change that could have unintended consequences.
