Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital

Funding Source: National Institutes of Health

Steering Teens Safe (STS) is an intervention that uses motivational interviewing — a health behavior communication technique — to help parents communicate with their teens about safe driving. Aims: 1) Determine the effects of the STS intervention on reducing teens’ risky driving events and unsafe driving behaviors; 2) Determine the effects of the intervention on increasing frequency and quality of parent- teen communication about safe driving practices; and 3) Determine the effects of the intervention on decreasing teen traffic violation recidivism.
