Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The current project is significant because it will translate the STS program to the needs of high-risk teen drivers who have committed a traffic violation and their parents. This study is innovative because it partners with the local court system, and utilizes novel and cutting-edge in-vehicle technology. The findings of the current study will have a significant impact on juvenile traffic court's practices and policies aimed to improve teen driving safety by reducing MVC-related crashes, injuries, and deaths.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control Group
The Azūga™ in-vehicle driving feedback technology will be installed.32 This driving feedback technology consists of a pager-sized device plugged into the vehicle's on-board diagnostic (OBD) port (installed in the teen's car) and a smartphone app (downloaded on the teen's smartphone). All feedback features will be disabled. Control dyads will receive no driving feedback. The parent will not receive STS. Additionally, a wireless mini-camera will be installed on the dashboard in teen's car to identify the participating driver using facial verification technology.
No interventions assigned to this group
Intervention Group
Parents will receive STS, which will include 1) Individualized virtual communication training and a booster session delivered by a traffic safety communication specialist; and 2) An online parent-teen safe driving communication guide. In addition, the Azūga™ in-vehicle device and app will be installed as described above and all feedback features will be enabled. Three types of feedback will be provided to teens: 1) Direct audio feedback; 2) Detailed cumulative driving data; and 3) A customized weekly driving summary report. Parents in this group will receive access to the teen's cumulative driving data and a weekly driving summary report. Additionally, a wireless mini-camera will be installed on the dashboard in teen's car to identify the participating driver using facial verification technology.
Steering Teens Safe (STS)
The goal of STS is to provide intervention parents with guidance and communication skills, which will enable parents to effectively communicate with their teens about specific driving safety topics (e.g., speeding, seatbelt use, distracted driving). Our proposed parent training has two components: an individualized virtual communication training (provided to parents via Skype by a trained research team member) and a parent-teen safe driving communication guide (available online).
Driving Feedback Technology.
The driving feedback technology will include the Azūga™ in-vehicle device and smartphone app.
