About this study

Official title: Promoting Teen Health: A Web-based Intervention to Prevent Risky Driving

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.

Read the detailed description

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.

Being tested
Risky driving prevention, Control group general health promotion

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Risky driving preventionBehavioural

    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 promotionBehavioural

    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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Retention of Participants

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

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

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Proportion of Participants Randomized

    Proportion of participants screened, enrolled and randomized

    Measured: Baseline (Study Visit 1)

  2. Adherence

    Adherence among the intervention and control group to the intervention.

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

  3. Simulated Driving Performance

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

    Measured: Baseline (Study Visit 1) through Study Visit 3

  4. Self-report Driving Behaviors

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

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

  5. Driving Citations and Crashes

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

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