This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a virtual reality tool designed to help young people who have experienced trauma — such as violence or assault — and who may be at risk for substance use problems or HIV infection. The tool is being developed to provide a new way to support healing and healthy decision-making. Researchers want to see whether this treatment is helpful and acceptable for young people in the Charleston area.
Young people who have experienced trauma often face higher risks of substance use and HIV infection. Current treatment options may not reach everyone or may not feel engaging enough. This study exists to see whether virtual reality — an interactive, immersive technology — could be a new tool to help young people process their experiences and make safer health choices.

You would attend three study visits over about two weeks. At your first visit, you will answer questions about your background and health, and sign the consent form. About one week later, you will use the virtual reality tool and share your thoughts about the experience. About one week after that, you will return for a final visit to answer similar questions as before, so researchers can see whether anything has changed.
