BTW Trial Summary

This trial will test if a phone app can help teenagers and novice drivers better learn how to drive.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for teen drivers aged 15.5-17 who've completed a driver's ed class, have at least 50 hours of driving experience including night time, and have held their permit for 6 months. They need a smartphone compatible with the BTW app, must not join other driving studies, speak English, and have parental consent plus car insurance.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if a smartphone application (BTW) can improve safe driving habits in teens. It compares three versions: one with supervised practice scenarios, another with rewards feedback, and a sham app that doesn't provide real guidance or feedback.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves an educational phone app rather than medication or medical procedures, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be risks associated with increased screen time or potential distractions while using the app.
