Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: 3D Concussion EducationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

During their in person study visit, participants will complete a brief ( ~5 minute) pre-survey before viewing the CrashCourse and Brain Fly-Through concussion educations. Participants in this group will receive both of these educations in 3D (via a Virtual Reality headset). Participants will then be asked to complete a brief ( ~2 minute) survey to assess their knowledge, self-efficacy, and empathy surrounding concussions.

Group II: 2D Concussion EducationActive Control1 Intervention

During their in person study visit, participants will complete a brief ( ~5 minute) pre-survey before viewing the CrashCourse and Brain Fly-Through concussion educations. Participants in this group will receive both of these educations in 2D (via a video on a laptop). Participants will then be asked to complete a brief ( ~2 minute) survey to assess their knowledge, self-efficacy, and empathy surrounding concussions.
