Injuries Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Contemporary Look at Driver Training and Its Role in Reducing Crash Risk in Novice Adolescent Drivers
This study will test the effectiveness of different types of driver training interventions for reducing young new driver crash risk early after licensure.
Motor vehicle crashes remain high in young drivers, despite graduated driver licensing laws that put restrictions on driving and delay licensure. Typically, data trends show that crash risk is highest right after licensure, in the early months of independent driving. Additional studies of different driver training interventions have shown some evidence that it is possible to improve skills and reduce crashes early in licensure for young drivers. However, Pennsylvania and many other states have no professional training requirements for young drivers. This study will test the effectiveness of different types of driver training programs for reducing young new driver crash risk early after licensure. A thousand adolescent learner drivers in Pennsylvania will be recruited through Primary Care Clinics at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to take part in a study that will continue through the learner phase and for 6 months after licensure. Participants will give informed consent and be asked to complete some baseline surveys and cognitive tasks in-person during a clinical or other visit. All will receive care-as-usual. Participants will also be followed through the learner phase with a smartphone app that monitors driving trips and monthly surveys that can be completed at home. In the learner phase, participants will randomly receive one of three interventions. One group of participants will receive professional behind-the-wheel training with a local driving school instructor. Another group will receive a modern online driver training course. Another group will receive an online vehicle and driver safety training course. Participants randomly assigned to the behind-the-wheel training group will be required to download and use an app to log and track their driving practice hours. Use of this app will be optional for participants randomly assigned to the other groups. After the learner phase, participants will be given a state license examination and will be followed for 6 months after licensure, with online surveys at 2, 4, and 6 months after licensure, and with continued driver trip monitoring through the smartphone app. ;
