The PCP's awareness of a prior cancer diagnosis and the previous treatment regimen is a critical component in providing comprehensive care. In this case, the PCP's first step is to reach out and collaborate with oncology providers to gather an accurate treatment summary and then consult evidence-based guidelines to develop a plan of care. Based on the patient's previous treatment with chemotherapy adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine, the PCP orders recommended testing, reviews results, and provides subsequent counseling on health promotion and psychosocial wellness.

Therefore, this scoping review provides an overview of XR in behavioral prevention and health promotion in childhood and adolescence. For this purpose, 10 databases were systematically searched for relevant entries, combined with outreach to professional societies and associations, and experts in the field. As a result, 27 reports were included that describe XR applications (mostly virtual reality) in different areas of prevention (e.g., substance use, violence, emotion regulation, road/fire/water safety). XR is often co-created through participatory action and seems to achieve good acceptance and feasibility, yet most studies so far are pilot studies with small and selective samples with mixed results. Although participatory research principles were often implemented, many dimensions of health equity and public health impact were also not considered. In conclusion, XR may be promising for behavioral prevention, but more rigorous efficacy studies using larger, representative samples and longitudinal observations are urgently needed to advance the field.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56278,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adolescent Health","volume":"75 6","pages":"Pages 856-873"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142333387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
