About this study

This research study examines the feasibility of using an in-vehicle mobile technology monitoring system to measure teen secondary task engagement during on-road driving as the outcome measure for a web-based intervention to prevent risky driving in novice teen drivers. Approximately 20 teens who have been licensed for less than 90 days will be enrolled and evaluated at baseline, ~1 week and ~4 weeks. Participants will complete an intervention after the ~1 week assessment. 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 cell phone use while driving.

Treatment and study plan

Risky Driving Prevention

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.

Other names: Web-based intervention to prevent risky driving

Teen Healthy Living

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.

Primary outcomes

  1. Retention of participants

    Time frame: Baseline (Study Visit 1) through approximately 1- month (Study Visit 4)

    Proportion of participants enrolled who complete Study Visit 1, Study Visit 2, Study Visit 3 and Study Visit 4.

Secondary outcomes

  1. In-vehicle cell phone use

    Time frame: Baseline (Study Visit 1) through approximately 1- month (Study Visit 4)

    Difference between the intervention and control group on frequency of cell phone use while driving as monitored by an in-vehicle device

  2. Self-reported driving behaviors

    Time frame: Baseline (Study Visit 1) through approximately 1- month (Study Visit 4)

    Difference between the intervention and control group on on self-report measures of driving behaviors
