Description:Objectives:
To examine pre-licensure agreement on driving expectations and predictors of teen driving expectations among parent-teen dyads.
Methods:
Cross-sectional survey of 163 parent-teen dyads. Descriptive statistics, Weighted Kappas, and linear regression were used to examine expectations about post-licensure teen driving.
Results:
Teens reported high pre-licensure unsupervised driving (N = 79, 48.5%) and regular access to a car (N = 130, 81.8%). Parents and teens had low agreement on teen driving expectations (eg, After Dark, κw = 0.23). Each time a teen currently drove to/from school, their expectation of driving in risky conditions post-licensure increased (β = 0.21, p = .02).
Conclusions:
Pre-licensure improvement of parent-teen agreement on driving expectations are needed to have the greatest impact on preventing teens from driving in high risk conditions.
