projectDRIVE Trial Summary
This trial will test if a driving feedback technology can help reduce risky driving events and unsafe behaviours that lead to traffic violations, for teens who have recently received a moving traffic violation.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for teens aged 16-17 in Ohio who have been convicted of a moving violation, hold a valid intermediate license with car insurance, and are the primary driver of a vehicle made after 1996. They need to have a legal guardian, smartphone with Bluetooth, and drive regularly. Teens can't join if they're unable to drive, enrolled in another driving study or don't speak English at home.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests an in-car feedback device that monitors driving habits. It's looking at whether this tech reduces risky driving when used alone or combined with training parents on how to communicate about safe driving practices.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
There may not be physical side effects from participating; however, teens might experience stress or anxiety due to being monitored while driving or from discussions about their driving behavior.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Feedback and Parent Communication GroupExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
The Feedback and Parent Communication Group will have the in-vehicle devices in the teen's car and download the smartphone app on the teen's smartphone. Researchers will provide instructions on how teens and parents can review their driving data. The parent will also receive communication training on how to motivate their teen to adopt safe driving habits via online modules and a video call with a motivational interviewing professional. A second booster session will also occur two months after the initial training. Both teens and parents will receive a biweekly cumulative driving report.
Group II: Feedback Only GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The Feedback Only Group will have the in-vehicle devices in the teen's car and download the smartphone app on the teen's smartphone. Researchers will provide instructions on how teens can review their driving data. Teens will also receive biweekly cumulative driving reports.
Group III: Control GroupActive Control1 Intervention
The Control Group will have the in-vehicle device installed in the teen's car, but all feedback features will be disabled.
