So what were the general findings of your research? You obviously mentioned thatThere were some pressures not to report near misses, but did you find any specific pressures or did you find any specific issues that arose when you d- were doing these 15 interviews?

Great question, Evan, and l- let me back up just a little bit.

At-- As I was developing this, I had to come up with a conceptual framework for how I would draft my questions to get the responses that dig deep into those experiences.
6:47
So I used what's called a theory of planned behavior, and the theory of, uh, planned behavior has three elements to it.
6:55
One is this volitional control, meaning a person believes that they have control over a specific action or behavior.
7:06
A subjective norm is how this behavior is viewed by others, and an attitude, person's feeling and evaluation of the behavior.
7:15
So reconstruct-- constructed the framework of the interviews from those three concepts within the theory of planned behavior, and within that, developed three research questions that had to be answered with this.
