Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>In the present study a quasi-experimental study is proposed. This study<br /><br>provides more insights in the experience and acceptance of the use of an<br /><br>VR-application as an adjuvant in the inpatient treatment of AUD patients. The<br /><br>main study parameter is the experience and acceptance to use a VR app by AUD<br /><br>patient in an inpatient treatment program.</p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Furthermore the study will focus on the level of realism, operationalized in<br /><br>two different types of VR environments (360° recordings versus computer<br /><br>generated virtual worlds) that is experienced by the participants. In addition,<br /><br>the satisfaction and side effects as the level of self-efficacy and of craving<br /><br>experienced by the participants will be measured. The last two will be measured<br /><br>before and immediately after the VR-sessions. The dmCV (a hybrid measure of the<br /><br>SSQ and subjective symptoms of craving to differentiate from both) will be used<br /><br>for the exploration before (first base line measure) and after the three<br /><br>sessions. The satisfaction will be measured only after the last session.</p><br>
