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家长参与帮助青少年学习驾驶来提高青少年驾驶员的安全。将使用定性/定量方法来检查三个问题：通过在青少年学习驾驶时增加家长的参与和监督来实现 GDL 计划的更完整实施；将 Checkpoints 计划引入现有的 GDL 计划，作为在青少年学习驾驶时改善家长监督的一种手段；通过 GDL 计划找出获得驾照方面的差异，并研究增加平等获得驾照的解决方案，从而提高家长对青少年驾驶员培训的参与度。研究一致表明，GDL 可以有效减少涉及青少年驾驶员的碰撞事故，包括致命和非致命伤害碰撞事故。然而，通过更好地遵守其要求，可以提高 GDL 的有效性。研究还表明，检查点有望增强家长对青少年早期驾驶的限制，并减少他们的危险驾驶。了解如何更有效、更广泛地实施这两种基于证据的互补方法，应该会加速它们的采用，并有助于大幅减少青少年车祸。通过 GDL 获得驾驶执照方面的差异导致青少年将驾驶执照推迟到 18 岁。然而，有大量证据表明，无证青少年尽管没有获得驾照，仍在开车。因此，他们将自己和他人置于危险之中，并且在没有 GDL 安全保障的情况下驾驶。本研究将结合使用定性方法来研究这些问题，以了解 GDL 许可的障碍和促进因素以及将检查点引入 GDL，并确定获得 GDL 的差异以及增强平等机会的方法。定性数据收集的结果将在专家小组的协助下用于开展一项调查，该调查将针对全国范围内具有代表性的 15-17 岁青少年家长样本进行。调查结果将提交给专家小组，专家小组将协助研究团队制定指南和建议，解决与 GDL、检查点和 GDL 获取差异相关的研究问题。这些建议将通过演示和同行评审出版物传播给州和联邦驾驶员安全部门和办公室。
