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的参与来帮助青少年学习驾驶，以提高青少年驾驶员的安全。定性/定量方法将用于研究三个问题：通过增加父母的参与并在学会驾驶时，通过增加父母的参与和监督来实现GDL计划的实施；将检查点程序引入现有GDL计划中，以此作为改善他们学会开车时对青少年的监督的一种手段；并且，通过确定通过GDL计划识别获得许可的差异，并调查解决方案以增加平等访问的解决方案，从而增加了父母参与青少年的驾驶员培训。研究一直表明，GDL有效减少涉及青少年驾驶员的撞车事故，包括致命和非致命伤害坠机。但是，通过更好地遵守其要求，可以提高GDL的有效性。研究还表明，检查点有望在增强青少年提前驾驶和降低风险驾驶方面设定的父母限制。对这两种基于证据的互补方法进行更有效和广泛实施的理解，应加速其采用，并有助于大大减少青少年崩溃。通过GDL获得驾驶许可的差异导致青少年推迟许可，直到18岁。但是，有大量证据表明，尽管没有获得许可，但未经许可的青少年仍在驾驶。结果，他们正在使自己和他人处于危险之中，而没有GDL的安全益处驾驶。这项研究将使用定性方法的组合来研究这些问题，以了解GDL许可的障碍和促进者，并将检查站引入GDL，并确定访问GDL的差异以及增强平等访问的方法。定性数据收集的结果将在专家小组的协助下使用，以开发一项调查，该调查将用于15-17岁的青少年的全国代表性样本。调查的结果将提交给专家小组，该小组将协助研究团队制定指南和建议，以解决与GDL，检查点和访问GDL有关的研究问题。这些建议将通过演讲和同行审查的出版物传播到州和联邦驾驶员部门和办公室。
