Advancing Cardiovascular Health Among Adolescents With Intellectual Disabilities: Co-Development of Technology Interventions to Enhance Physical Activity
Adolescents with intellectual disabilities (ID) face significant health issues, particularly in managing chronic conditions such as cardiovascular (CV) health risks. These issues are exacerbated by limited physical activity (PA), health literacy challenges, and a lack of evidence-based health interventions. This project aims to address these gaps by engaging adolescents with ID and their stakeholders supporting ID as co-researchers to design, adapt, and pilot-test a virtual reality (VR)-based PA intervention tailored to their needs. The long-term goal is to dismantle factors to improve health outcomes for adolescents with ID through innovative, collaborative research that enhances health literacy, increases PA, and lowers CV health risks. The objectives of this study will address three specific aims: 1) adapt and validate research instruments by collaborating with adolescents with ID and their ID stakeholders to incorporate common language in measures for assessing health outcomes; 2) evaluate and select VR-based PA programs by engaging co-researchers in identifying effective VR exergame interventions for improving health outcomes through PA; and 3) pilot-test the VR PA intervention, which incorporates peer support. We will assess feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of our 16-week VR exergame PA intervention using co-adapted measures and biologic CV risk measures. A quasi-experimental mixed-methods approach will be used, guided by our Logic Model. Preliminary evidence highlights the potential of interactive, technology-driven PA to address CV risks while fostering peer engagement and optimal self-efficacy to manage health. The expected outcomes are: 1) validated measures through greater health literacy, and 2) a co-designed intervention to reduce CV risks that helps adolescents with ID to take an active role in their health. By addressing critical gaps in health literacy, self-efficacy, and PA, this work advances healthcare practices and supports long-term improvements in public health.

실험적: Single
Single arm study participants will be asked to utilize a VR exercise program and complete pre/post surveys |
The intervention will be delivered via home setting of the study participant (adolescent with ID). Baseline Home Visit; week 1: All pre-intervention baseline measures will be obtained, accelerometer will be fitted and applied. Home Visit 2; week 2: The participant will utilize the VR technology three sessions per week (weeks 3-16) for approximately 10 minutes per exercise session following instructions on use. Visit 3; Virtual; week 4: One of the three VR sessions per week will be virtual peer group interactions, guided by study staff. Virtual peer groups will utilize the VR technology together for at least one session of the three sessions per week for approximately 10 minutes per exercise session during weeks 4-16. Educational materials include: visual supports to guide VR use along with study team's contact information throughout the intervention. Study Completion Home Visit; after week 15: Follow up data collection. Virtual Week 16; Optional: Qualitative follow-up data collection. |
