Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Feasibility of the Intervention Measure | From completion of the virtual reality intervention to 2 months | Four items, Scale score is average across individual items, Minimum score: 1, Maximum score: 5. higher scores indicate better feasibility |
| Acceptability of Intervention Measure | From completion of the virtual reality intervention to 2 months | Four items, Scale score is average across individual items, Minimum score: 1, Maximum score: 5. higher scores indicate better acceptability |
| Appropriateness of the Intervention Measure | From completion of the virtual reality intervention to 2 months | Four items, Scale score is average across individual items, Minimum score: 1, Maximum score: 5. higher scores indicate better appropriateness |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| De Novo Survey Items for Assessing Social Cognitive Theory Construct Expectations | From completion of the virtual reality intervention to 2 months | Three items, Scale score of individual items, Minimum score: 1, Maximum score: 5. Higher scores indicate more expectations. |
| De Novo Survey Items for Assessing Social Cognitive Theory Construct Expectancies | From completion of the virtual reality intervention to 2 months | Six items, Scale score of individual items, Minimum score: 1, Maximum score: 5. higher scores indicate higher expectancies for prioritizing firearm safety discussions across different ages for well-child visits. |
| De Novo Survey Item for Assessing Social Cognitive Theory Construct Behavioral Capability | From completion of the virtual reality intervention to 2 months | One item, Scale score of individual items, Minimum score: 1, Maximum score: 5. higher score indicates more behavioral capability |
| De Novo Survey Items for Assessing Social Cognitive Theory Construct Self-Efficacy | From completion of the virtual reality intervention to 2 months | Eight items, Scale score for individual items, Minimum score: 0, Maximum score: 4. Higher scores indicate more self-efficacy. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| De Novo Standardized Patient Encounter Assessment Tool - Assessing Fidelity to the Virtual Reality Intervention Components | From completion of the virtual reality intervention to 6 months | Participant's will engage in a standardized patient encounter to assess fidelity to behavioral skills reviewed during the virtual reality intervention, 20 items, maximum score: 20, minimum score: 0, scaled scores for firearm counseling skills and motivational interviewing skills, scaled scores determined by adding together individual items, 17 items related to firearm safety counseling, 3 items related to motivational interviewing |
