“…In our prior analyses of TDP trial data, we found compelling support that exposure to TDP increased the quality and diversity of practice driving 12 13. Our current analyses extend these findings by demonstrating an association between the amount and type of early engagement with TDP and the diversity of driving practice achieved by the end of the 24-week study period.…”

“…Our prior research indicates that compared with parents in the control group, parents in TDP dyads reported greater engagement as practice supervisors that included planning practice drives (eg, selecting specific practice activities, route planning) 13. The relatively weak use of the planning component of TDP compared to the other components could be due to parents feeling able to do this behaviour offline without the support of a web-based tool as well as an underlying preference for opportunistic drives of convenience.…”

“…As described in detail previously, TDP is an internet-based intervention that provides parent supervisors of teens with learner permits with specific guidance for creating a positive learning environment and facilitating supervised practice driving across a range of environments: (1) empty parking lots; (2) residential neighbourhoods; (3) intermediate roads; (4) rural roads; (5) commercial roads and (6) highways 12 13. The content and functionality of TDP were informed by extensive literature review, a strong theoretical background, formative research with professionals and families, and usability testing.…”

Objective Inexperienced, less-skilled driving characterises many newly licensed drivers and contributes to high crash rates. A randomised trial of TeenDrivingPlan (TDP), a new learner driver phase internet-based intervention, demonstrated effectiveness in improving safety relevant, on-road driving behaviour, primarily through greater driving practice diversity. To inform future learner driver interventions, this analysis examined TDP use and its association with practice diversity. Design Posthoc analysis of data from teen/parent dyads (n=107), enrolled early in learner phase and assigned to treatment arm in randomised trial. Methods Inserted software beacons captured TDP use data. Electronic surveys completed by parents and teens assessed diversity of practice driving and TDP usability ratings at 24 weeks (end of study period). Results Most families (84%) used TDP early in the learner period; however, the number of TDP sessions in the first week was three times higher among dyads who achieved greater practice diversity than those with less.

“…This effect was mediated via increasing the diversity of supervised practice driving (i.e., the number of different road environments in which adolescents practiced; Mirman, Albert, et al, 2014). The TDP increased parental engagement (e.g., planning) and increased the social support and communication quality between adolescents and their parents but did not affect the average quantity of weekly practice driving (Mirman, Albert, et al, 2014). …”

Objective Newly licensed adolescent drivers have skill deficits that increase risk for motor vehicle crashes. Development of programs targeted to prelicensed adolescents has been hindered by concerns about encouraging overconfidence and early licensure. The study had 2 primary objectives: (a) determine whether an Internet-based intervention designed to improve parent-supervised practice (TeenDrivingPlan [TDP]) influenced adolescents’ time to licensure and parents’ perceptions of adolescents’ driving skill, expertise, and safety and (b) evaluate the association of these perceptions and practice diversity (number of different environments where practiced occurred) with time to licensure. Method A randomized controlled trial was used to compare TDP with a control condition. Participants (N = 295 parent–adolescent dyads) completed periodic surveys over 24 weeks and were subsequently followed for up to a year to determine adolescents’ licensure status. Results TDP did not influence time to licensure and did not affect parents’ perceptions of skill, expertise, and safety. Practice diversity was associated with faster licensure. A more favorable perception of adolescents’ skill in comparison to peers was associated with faster licensure. Conclusions Targeting parents’ beliefs about adolescents’ safety in relation to other road users may not be conducive to altering licensing trajectories, whereas sensitizing parents to their adolescents’ emerging skills might be more effective in promoting safe entry into licensure.

“…In the article by Mirman et al [8] in this issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health, the authors report findings from a welldesigned randomized trial of TeenDrivingPlan, which has the goal of increasing the quantity and diversity of parent-supervised practice driving before licensure. Previous such efforts have proven ineffectual.…”
