NCT05836662 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: 2D vs 3D - Concordia
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 40
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if there are differences in knowledge, self-efficacy, and empathy surrounding concussions, as well as intent to report a concussion, after viewing concussion education (CrashCourse and Brain Fly-Through) in 2D versus in 3D. In this randomized study, all participants will receive two types of concussion education (CrashCourse and Brain Fly-Through). Participants will be randomized to the 2D or 3D (Virtual Reality) group, and will experience both concussion educations in that modality (either 2D or 3D).

Conditions

Brain Concussion; Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in the participant's knowledge, self-efficacy, and empathy surrounding concussions

  Participants will take a pre-survey (prior to receiving the concussion education), an immediate post-survey (right after completion of the concussion education), and two-month post-survey (two months after the concussion education. These surveys will assess participant's knowledge, self-efficacy, and empathy surrounding concussions.

  2 months

Study Arms (2)

2D Concussion Education

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

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.

Other: CrashCourse Concussion Education in Virtual Reality

3D Concussion Education

EXPERIMENTAL

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.

Other: CrashCourse Concussion Education in Virtual Reality

Interventions

CrashCourse Concussion Education in Virtual Reality OTHER

The TeachAids concussion education, including CrashCourse and Brain Fly-Through, will be shown in 3D (via a Virtual Reality headset). These educations are the exact same content as the 2D versions viewed on a laptop, but the modality (via a VR headset) is different.

2D Concussion Education; 3D Concussion Education

Model Details: In this randomized study, all participants will receive two types of concussion education (CrashCourse and Brain Fly-Through). Participants will be randomized to the 2D or 3D (Virtual Reality) group, and will experience both concussion educations in that modality (either 2D or 3D). 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 will then be asked to complete a brief ( \~2 minute) survey to assess their knowledge, self-efficacy, and empathy surrounding concussions. Two months later, participants will receive a brief ( \~5 minute) follow-up survey via email, assessing the same constructs.
