Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control - Standard UBI
Participants will continue to be monitored as a part of their standard UBI and receive educational material about distracted driving in the enrollment period
No interventions assigned to this group
Free Phone mount
Participants in this arm will be monitored through standard UBI, receive educational material about distracted driving in the enrollment period, and free phone mounts
Free Phone Mounts
Participants will receive free phone mounts
Commitment + Habit tips
Participants in this arm will receive educational material about distracted driving during the enrollment period, be sent a free phone mount with installation instructions, sign a personalized commitment contract to reduce their phone use, set personal phone use reduction goals, and be sent personalized habit tips framed to help them reduce their handheld phone use while driving;
Free Phone Mounts
Participants will receive free phone mounts
Commitment Contract
Participants will develop and sign a personalized commitment contract where they will create their own weekly goals for phone use reduction, and plan potential future obstacles that may hinder them from reaching their goal and how and plan to overcome that obstacle.
Personalized Habit Tips
Participants will receive weekly habit formation tips by text message. These messages will be tailored to encourage use of phone mounts, setting up do not disturb while driving, and include their personal obstacles and plans they developed to overcome.
Habit Formation + Social Gamification
Participants in this arm will will receive all treatments assigned to arm 3, plus social gamification feedback, where each week participants are told if they've reach their weekly handheld phone use while driving reduction goal, and receive or lose points based on whether or not they met their goal. Based on their points participants can either move up or down a level. Each week the participants will also be sent a leader board of their ranking within their group.

Social Gamification Feedback
Each week of the intervention period, the participant will be notified whether they met their prior week's goal, stayed about the same, or backslid. Participants will all start with 100 points, and can gain/maintain/lose points each week in the intervention period. Levels are as follows:
Copper: 0-40 points Bronze: 50-80 points Silver: 90-120 points Gold: 130-160 points Platinum: 170-200 points
Social competition: participants will be placed in groups of 10 based on similarity of baseline phone use. Weekly leaderboard reports will be sent via email, with SMS reminder. In the leaderboard they'll see themselves as "You".
All + Contest Financial Incentive
Participants in this arm will receive all of the treatments of arm 4 plus be entered into a financial incentive contest where they can either finish in the highest level and split the prize money amongst all participants that reached that level, and the safest driver (driver ranked #1 on the leader board of their group) will receive a small weekly financial prize.
