What Will Happen To The Teen Drivers Of Today? A Triage Of Research And Intervention Issues

Abstract

The purpose of this panel session is to reflect on and debate the advances and challenges associated with driving as a teen. Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death in the U.S. and worldwide in this age group. What research has contributed to our understanding of this state of affairs and what research and interventions are still needed? A group of internationally known researchers will present research on the contributions of driving behavior (e.g. secondary task engagement) and driving conditions (e.g. teenage passengers) on teen crash risk and the potential for interventions, such as education, training, and graduated drivers licensing (GDL) to reduce this risk. The breadth and depth of the panelists' knowledge will be tested by audience questions and directed by the provocateur as a range of additional possible contributions and countermeasures are considered and prioritized.
