We examined whether feedback from an event-triggered video intervention system reduced the number of safety-relevant driving errors made by newly licensed adolescents.We used a 1-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design to compare rate coachable error events per 1000 miles for 18 drivers who were aged 16 years. The consisted immediate visual provided and weekly event reports videos their parents.The was 61% overall during (chi(2) = 11.42; P .001) did not significantly increase second baseline, which assessed after ended 1.49; .223). greatest reduction seen in category improper turns or curves identified at first baseline as "high-event" drivers.Our results show that adolescents cumulative parents early period independent can have dramatic influence on events. To extent such are proxy crash risk, we suggest enhance adolescent safety.
