DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of this study is to improve teen driver safety by increasing parental involvement in helping their teens' learn to drive. A qualitative/quantitative method will be used to examine three issues: achieving more complete implementation of GDL programs by increasing parental involvement with and supervision of their teens as they learn to drive; introducing the Checkpoints program into existing GDL programs as a means of improving parental supervision of their teens as they learn to drive; and, increasing parental involvement in their teens' driver training by identifying disparities in access to licensure through GDL programs, and investigating solutions to increase equal access. Research has consistently shown that GDL is effective in reducing crashes involving teen drivers, including fatal and non-fatal injury crashes. However, the effectiveness of GDL could be improved by better adherence to its requirements. Research has also shown the promise of Checkpoints in enhancing parental limits set on teens' early driving, and on reducing their risky driving. Developing an understanding of how these two evidence-based, complementary approaches could be more effectively and widely implemented should accelerate their adoption, and contribute to a substantial reduction in teen crashes. Disparities in access to driver licensure through GDL results in teens postponing licensure until they are 18 years of age. However, there is significant evidence that unlicensed teens are driving in spite of not being licensed. As a result, they are placing themselves and others at risk, and driving without the safety benefit of GDL. This study will examine these issues using a combination of qualitative methods to understand barriers to and facilitators of GDL licensure and the introduction of Checkpoints into GDL, and to identify disparities in access to GDL and ways to enhance equal access. The results of the qualitative data collection will be used, with the assistance of an expert panel, to develop a survey that will be administered to a nationally representative sample of parents with teens aged 15-17 years. The results of the survey will be presented to the expert panel, and the panel will assist the research team in developing guidelines and recommendations that address the research issues related to GDL, Checkpoints, and disparities in access to GDL. These recommendations will be disseminated to state and federal driver safety departments and offices, and through presentations and peer reviewed publication.

描述（由申请人提供）： 这项研究的总体目标是通过增加父母参与帮助青少年学习驾驶来提高青少年驾驶员的安全性。一个定性/定量的方法将被用来研究三个问题：实现更完整的实施GDL计划，增加父母的参与和监督他们的青少年，因为他们学习驾驶;引入检查点计划到现有的GDL计划，作为一种手段，改善父母的监督他们的青少年，因为他们学习驾驶;通过GDL计划确定获得驾照的差距，增加父母对青少年驾驶培训的参与，并研究增加平等机会的解决方案。研究一直表明，GDL在减少涉及青少年司机的碰撞方面是有效的，包括致命和非致命伤害碰撞。然而，GDL的有效性可以通过更好地遵守其要求来提高。研究还表明，检查点在加强父母对青少年早期驾驶的限制和减少他们的危险驾驶方面有希望。了解如何更有效和更广泛地实施这两种以证据为基础的互补方法，应加速其采用，并有助于大幅减少青少年撞车事故。通过GDL获得驾驶执照的差异导致青少年将执照推迟到18岁。然而，有重要证据表明，无证青少年驾驶，尽管没有被许可。因此，他们将自己和他人置于危险之中，并且在没有GDL安全效益的情况下驾驶。本研究将结合定性方法来研究这些问题，以了解GDL许可证的障碍和促进因素，并将检查点引入GDL，并确定GDL准入的差异和提高平等准入的方法。在专家小组的协助下，定性数据收集的结果将用于制定一项调查，该调查将对15-17岁青少年的父母进行全国代表性抽样调查。调查结果将提交给专家小组，专家小组将协助研究小组制定指导方针和建议，解决与GDL、检查点和获得GDL的差距有关的研究问题。这些建议将通过介绍和同行评审的出版物传播到州和联邦驾驶员安全部门和办公室。
