Accepts healthy volunteers: yes
Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: 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.
Primary purpose: OTHER

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).
