Steps take to promote rigor and trustworthiness

Construct	Steps taken
Credibility	• Triangulation of data sources, including one-on-one interviews with students and faculty, as well as student reflection papers • Multiple relevant areas of expertise among researchers to design study and review analyses • Prior experience delivering the VDT program among researchers • Point of data saturation identified through transcription of interview recordings on a rolling basis
Transferability	• Purposeful inclusion of participants from different fields, with diverse demographic characteristics, and caregiving experiences • Use of “thick description” in summary of findings include in-depth quotes from participants
Dependability (auditability)	• Transcription of recorded interviews and retainment of original recordings, available to all members of the research team • Written annotations on printed transcripts and reflection papers during second coding round • Dated updates to coding trees and code definitions following each coding round, available to study team
Confirmability	• Review of 100% of study records in tandem by two study team members during second round of coding • Reflexive discourse during analysis between two study team members (e.g., examining positionality and potential biases)
