Abstract

As a result of findings from two types of study of young drivers in Michigan, a behavioral longitudinal survey of a probability sample and a surveillance police-based study of statewide fatal accidents, target areas of young driving behavior are indicated for the design and execution of a Spring field trial in Michigan in 1970 to test the feasibility and efficacy of several countermeasures (group discussion, recognition letter, and police program) in a sample of high school seniors to reduce moving violations and accidental injuries. Although the scale of the study is probably too small for definitive results, the detection of demonstrable effects in test groups compared to controls should lead to the design and execution of more extensive trials in a very difficult area of high morbidity and mortarity.
