Abstract

Problem Unsafe driving and passenger behaviors place teens at increased risk for fatal and nonfatal crashes. This study evaluated the short-and long-term efficacy of the You Hold the Key (YHTK) Teen Driving Countermeasure.Method A two-page survey was completed by high school students at pretest, posttest, and long-term (6-month) posttest.Results YHTK was associated with significant immediate and long-term improvements in teen seatbelt use, safe driving, and perceived confidence in preventing drunk driving. Compared to pretests, students at immediate and long-term posttest more frequently wore seatbelts when driving or riding, required passengers to wear seatbelts, and limited the number of passengers to the number of seatbelts in the vehicle. Students were more likely at both posttests to avoid drinking and driving and to say no to riding with a friend who had been drinking.Summary YHTK was associated with increases in safe teen driving and passenger behaviors.Impact on industry Success of YHTK is most notably due to its comprehensive nature. Future programs should consider comprehensive strategies when attempting to modify teen behaviors.

  • The 'You Hold the Key' teen driving countermeasure significantly increased self-reported seatbelt wearing, requiring passengers to wear seatbelts, limiting passengers to number of seatbelts, avoiding drinking/driving situations, and saying no to riding with a drinking friend, immediately and 6 months after the program.

    “Overall, compared to pre-test data, participants immediately following the program and 6 months later reported to be significantly more likely to report wearing their seatbelts (MD = 0.18, p 0.001); requiring their passengers to wear seatbelts (MD = 0.48, p < 0.001); limiting the number of passengers to number of seatbelts (MD = 0.54 p < 0.001); avoiding drinking/driving situations (MD = 0.21, p <”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
