Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The specific aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of a web-based intervention to prevent risky driving with teen drivers licensed in the previous 90 days.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The specific aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of a web-based intervention to prevent risky driving teen drivers licensed in the previous 90 days. The intervention will focus on promoting teen driver attention to the roadway.

The investigators will use a randomized controlled trial (RCT) experimental design for this feasibility study, randomizing to the intervention or control group. The investigators will complete a baseline assessment and follow up with participants at 1-month, 3-months and 6-months post-intervention delivery.

This study will provide information on the feasibility of the web-based intervention to prevent risky driving and estimation of effect size of the intervention on simulated driving performance, self-reported driving behaviors, crash and citation data.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Risky driving prevention

Web-based behavioral intervention to promote teen driver attention to the roadway, addressing mobile technology and passengers.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Risky driving prevention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The web-based intervention to prevent risky driving targets knowledge, attitudes, perceived control and norms about driver inattention, with strategies to keep attention on the roadway.

Control group

Web-based behavioral intervention for healthy lifestyles.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Control group general health promotion

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The control group will receive a web-based intervention for general health promotion and is designed to enhance participants' knowledge and ability to reduce their risk of adverse health conditions including, obesity and heart disease.
