ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial, titled "Sleep and Eating Behaviours in Adolescents," is studying how sleep problems and eating disorders affect teenagers. Researchers want to understand how these issues can occur together in adolescents aged 14 to 17 years old, and how they might predict which young people may develop more serious symptoms. They will follow a large group of students (854 in total) to see how their sleep and eating behaviors change over time. The study will also explore whether using virtual reality can help identify teenagers at risk for these conditions and test a new virtual reality program designed to help those struggling with sleep or eating difficulties.
To participate in this trial, teenagers need to be between 14 and 17 years old, speak Italian, and have access to a device with an internet connection. While the study is not yet recruiting participants, those who do join can expect to learn more about their sleep and eating habits and may receive helpful tools and support to improve their well-being. This trial aims to provide valuable insights that could lead to better support for adolescents facing these challenges.
