Mobile Technology Monitoring System to Assess a Web-based Intervention for Teen Risky Driving

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
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.

Detailed Description
-----------------
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.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Risky driving prevention<br>Web-based behavioral intervention to promote teen driver attention to the roadway, addressing mobile technology and passengers. | Behavioral: Risky Driving Prevention<br>* 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.<br>* Other names: Web-based intervention to prevent risky driving;|
| Experimental: Control group<br>Web-based behavioral intervention for healthy lifestyles. | Behavioral: Teen Healthy Living<br>* 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.<br>|

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Retention of participants | Proportion of participants enrolled who complete Study Visit 1, Study Visit 2, Study Visit 3 and Study Visit 4. | Baseline (Study Visit 1) through approximately 1- month (Study Visit 4) | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| In-vehicle cell phone use | Difference between the intervention and control group on frequency of cell phone use while driving as monitored by an in-vehicle device | Baseline (Study Visit 1) through approximately 1- month (Study Visit 4) | 
| Self-reported driving behaviors | Difference between the intervention and control group on on self-report measures of driving behaviors | Baseline (Study Visit 1) through approximately 1- month (Study Visit 4) |
