Preventing Motor Vehicle Crashes Among Young Drivers

RHODE ISLAND DMV LICENSE+1 TELEPHONE SURVEY

Teen and Parent

(TMR Version 1.0)

Input Dataset Description

Datasets will be provided periodically to TMR; contents from Recruitment and Baseline surveys and license exam results, with contents to be specified, e.g.:

• Parent and teen names, mailing and street addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and alternative contact persons

• Ages, races, relationship, marital and work status, family size, cars, drivers, other licensed children

• Teen’s permit number and provisional license date

Some expected data may be unknown, in which case the data will need to be asked for in this survey.

This survey covers the options of:

1. Calling if known that teen has license or calling to find out if teen has license.

2. Completing exit interview if teen has had permit more than 9 months without getting his/her license.

3. Calling teen’s or common phone number to interview teen only (parent already interviewed or scheduled).

4. Calling parent’s or common phone number to interview parent only (teen already interviewed or scheduled).

5. Calling common phone number to interview both (in this case, offer to begin with teen).

6. In the case of twins enrolled in the study, controlling for which teen the parent is interviewed.

[Opening screen displays first and last names of target teen and target parent, teen’s phone numbers, parent’s phone numbers, street addresses for both, the date on which the teen/parent were recruited into the study, the date when the teen got his/her learner’s permit, whether the teen has his/her license, and what the license date is [if has and known].]

[If teen needs interviewing, continue with Teen Interview. If this targets only the parent, continue with the Parent Interview.]

[If teen and parent are not at the same address, calls to interview the teen and calls to interview the parent should proceed independently of each other. In particular, neither target should wait until the other is interviewed before TMR starts after them.]
