The purpose of this study is to find out if a phone app can help the learning-to-drive process among teenagers and novice drivers.
High-risk Driving Events
BTW app with reward-based feedback
BTW app with situational supervised driving practice
Sham BTW app
Not Applicable
This project will assess the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of an app (BTW) to quantify driving behaviors and promote safe driving in adolescents who are beginning their learner period of licensure. 90 teens and their corresponding parents/guardians will be randomized into one of three study groups. Researchers aim to test the feasibility of the BTW app on acceptance and retention, evaluate the preliminary efficacy of the BTW app with a teen-parent dyad intervention on driving performance after using the BTW app for six months, and investigate the long-term effects of the BTW app intervention on driving performance and safety attitudes among teens.

Experimental: BTW app with reward-based feedback Teens will install the BTW app with reward-based feedback. This tracks driving performance while providing individualized driving feedback using gamification concepts. |
Behavioral: BTW app with reward-based feedback |
Experimental: BTW app with situational supervised driving practice Teens will install the BTW app the same as the app with reward-based feedback in conjunction with a situational supervised driving practice intervention for teen-parent dyads. |
Behavioral: BTW app with situational supervised driving practice |
Sham Comparator: Sham BTW app Teens will install the sham BTW app with driving performance tracking only. |
Behavioral: BTW app with situational supervised driving practice |
Ages Eligible for Study: | 15 Years to 17 Years |
