Workshop Agenda and Participants
Contributions from the Behavioral and Social Sciences in Reducing and Preventing Teen Motor Crashes
Workshop May 15-16, 2006
Board on Children, Youth, and Families and the Transportation Research Board
The National Academies Washington, DC
Meeting Goals: Provide an update and engage in discussion on the following questions:
-
How do theories and evidence from the behavioral, cognitive, social, health, and biological sciences inform understanding of the risk factors that increase teen motor vehicle crashes and the protective factors that reduce such crashes?
-
How can theories and evidence from the behavioral, cognitive, social, health, and biological sciences inform improved prevention, program, and policy interventions to reduce risky teen motor vehicle driving behaviors, as well as promote responsible teen driving?
-
What research and interventions are most likely to advance teen motor vehicle safety over the short and long term?
