2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
We hypothesize that this intervention will increase the quality and quantity of parental interaction on safety driving with newly-licensed teen drivers. 250 parent/teen dyads will be individually randomized into intervention and control groups. The intervention group will receive a tailored, in-person intervention with a trained member of the research team, with follow-up intervention phone calls each month for the 3-month intervention. The control group will be a "usual care" group who will receive driving safety materials available to all new drivers and their parents. Parents and teens will be followed to see if intervention parents meet the intervention's driving goals and to see if the parent and teens report improved driving skills and behaviors in the intervention compared with the control group.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of child passenger educational methods to measure their ability to effectively reduce car seat misuse. The study will assess the traditional child passenger educational method delivered by a child passenger safety technician by comparing it to an in-person and virtual telehealth Behavioral Skills Training approach to reduce car seat misuse.
