Study population: The study will include adolescents with an acquired brain injury between the ages of 12 - 17, parents/caregivers of adolescents with an acquired brain injury, and a health professional involved in discharge planning and community re-integration of adolescents with an acquired brain injury.

Brief summary: The objective of this study is to identify home safety hazards for adolescents with acquired brain injury and to identify adaptations to the home healthcare virtual simulation training system (HH-VSTS) to improve the user experience for adolescents with ABI

Detailed description: This study will determine the home safety hazards that place adolescents with ABI at risk of injury. In addition, the study will determine ways to adapt our current home safety virtual simulation training system, a game based training and assessment that trains home healthcare workers to identify and respond to hazards they encounter in client homes. The study will include interviews with three stakeholders groups: adolescents with ABI, parents of adolescents with ABI, and healthcare providers working with adolescents with ABI to identify home safety hazards encountered by adolescents with ABI. We will demonstrate proof of concept for adolescents with ABI through assessment of safety concerns from multiple perspectives and evaluation of design considerations from our intended user-group. Further, we are applying the HH-VSTS in a novel way to solve an understudied problem in adolescents with ABI. In addition, we will apply a user-centered, participatory approach to assess the design consideration of virtual gaming technologies to health and safety training adolescents with ABI.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. adolescent with an acquired brain injury between the ages of 12 - 17 (TBI diagnosis per medical record or self-report for those recruited via word of mouth or community) OR
2. parent/caregiver (18+ years of age) of an adolescent with an acquired brain injury OR
3. a health professional involved in discharge planning and community re-integration of adolescents with an acquired brain injury.
