About this study

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Males or females age 16-17 years at time of enrollment (i.e. can turn 18 while enrolled in research and still be eligible).
  • Pennsylvania driver's license for 90 days or less at time of assent
  • Personal email address and computer and internet access
  • Willingness to travel to CHOP twice to complete simulated assessment
  • Ability to read and write English

Exclusion criteria

  • Self-reported of claustrophobia, migraine headaches, or motion sickness
  • Self-reported current pregnancy
  • . Participation in a Center for Injury Research and Prevention teen driving study with the past 6 months

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.

Control group general health promotion

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 Study Visit 4 (around 6 months).

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

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of Participants Randomized

    Time frame: Baseline (Study Visit 1)

    Proportion of participants screened, enrolled and randomized

  2. Adherence

    Time frame: Baseline (Study Visit 1) through completion of the intervention.

    Adherence among the intervention and control group to the intervention.

  3. Simulated Driving Performance

    Time frame: Baseline (Study Visit 1) through Study Visit 3

    Difference between the intervention and control group on the simulated driving assessment (measures of driving performance during the simulated experimental drives).

  4. Self-report Driving Behaviors

    Time frame: Baseline (Study Visit 1) through Study Visit 4 (around 6 months).

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

  5. Driving Citations and Crashes

    Time frame: Baseline (Study Visit 1) through Study Visit 4 (around 6 months).

    Difference between the intervention and control group on driving citations and crashes.
