Yong Pei\, Advisor\, Paul J. Hershberger\, Co- Advisor (Family Medicine)\, and Mateen RizkiABSTRACT:This thesis research project focus on design and development of an immersion simulation-based t raining tool that help raise the social determinants of health (SDOH) awar eness among the health care providers. Compared to existing classroom lect ure and/or role-play based SDOH education approach\, our immersion-simulat ion based approach provides an easy access and highly realistic experience to such training curriculum at anytime and anywhere with an Internet conn ection. Such an interactive and immersive exposure is critical to raise SD OH awareness and maintain long-lasting sympathy towards actual patients in practice\, and thus help providers to be better prepared when encounterin g with those patients.We take advantage of the latest advances in mobile V R technologies to create the new SDOH training mobile game that is made av ailable using tablets and smartphone devices. Particularly\, this thesis h as contributed to the first mobile virtual immersion dedicated for SDOH tr aining. It presents specifically such Social determinants of health as num erous adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)\, SUD\, race and ethnicity\, un employment\, and single mothers. Finally\, a preliminary validation was ca rried out to assess its acceptance and effectiveness as a training tool. I t is evident from the data that this simulation is an effective learning p latform that helps providers: 1.) decrease any negative biases toward pati ents like Ebony\; and\, 2.) be a more understanding health professional.
