Abstract: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking approval for a one-time voluntary information collection from 168 participants ages 18 and 19 who do not yet have driver’s licenses for a research study on novice driver training. Specifically, this collection involves developing and testing a novice driver training program on a smartphone-like platform and determining whether the effectiveness of the training differs for participants of different sexes, socio-economic status (SES) strata, and trait levels of sensation seeking and aggressiveness. The information collection will proceed in two phases. First, the research team expects to provide screening questionnaires to 1,002 potential participants to determine their eligibility for the study; screening questionnaires will be provided to those who respond to recruitment information about the study posted on social media platforms or provided to contacts in local communities (e.g., teen centers, community college faculty in the area, high school principals, local driving schools) and to those who participated in past studies at the research center and agreed to be contacted about future opportunities. To be eligible, participants must be 18 or 19 years old, must not have an unrestricted driver’s license or an intermediate/provisional license that allows driving independently, and must be interested in obtaining an unrestricted or intermediate/provisional license in the next 12 months. Participants may have a learner’s permit. Completing the screening questionnaire is estimated to have a burden of 5 minutes per respondent (an annual burden of 28 hours for 334 annual respondents, averaged over the three-year approval period). Second, of the estimated 1,002 potential participants who are provided a screening questionnaire, an estimated 180 respondents are expected to complete the screening questionnaire and be eligible, interested, and willing to travel to the research center to undergo the informed consent process, with an estimated burden of 70 minutes per respondent, including travel time (an annual burden of 70 hours for 60 annual respondents). Finally, of the estimated 180 respondents who undergo the informed consent process, an estimated 168 respondents are expected to consent and enroll in the study. These participants will complete the enrollment process and a pre-study questionnaire, with an estimated burden of 10 minutes per respondent (an annual burden of 9 hours for 56 annual respondents). Then, participants will complete the novice driver training protocol, which involves a pre-training test, the hazard anticipation and attention maintenance training program (or a placebo training program), a post-training test (all administered on a computer), a rest break, a test on a computerized driving simulator, and a post-study questionnaire. The training protocol has an estimated burden of 230 minutes per respondent (an annual burden of 215 hours for 56 annual respondents). The total annual burden for this information collection is 322 hours and $13,069. Prior to conducting the study, the research team will obtain review and approval of this data collection from an Institutional Review Board (IRB) that meets all Federal requirements in 45 CFR 46, is registered with the Office for Human Research Protections, and has a Federal wide Assurance. NHTSA will use the results of this study to produce a technical report containing summary descriptive and inferential statistics. No identifying information or individual responses will be reported. The technical report will be shared with State highway safety offices, local governments, policymakers, researchers, educators, advocates, and others who may wish to use the data from this survey to support their work on novice and teen driver safety.
