The specific aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of a web-based intervention to prevent risky driving with teen drivers licensed in the previous 90 days.
The specific aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of a web-based intervention to prevent risky driving teen drivers licensed in the previous 90 days. The intervention will focus on promoting teen driver attention to the roadway. The investigators will use a randomized controlled trial (RCT) experimental design for this feasibility study, randomizing to the intervention or control group. The investigators will complete a baseline assessment and follow up with participants at 1-month, 3-months and 6-months post-intervention delivery. This study will provide information on the feasibility of the web-based intervention to prevent risky driving and estimation of effect size of the intervention on simulated driving performance, self-reported driving behaviors, crash and citation data.

The web-based intervention to prevent risky driving targets knowledge, attitudes, perceived control and norms about driver inattention, with strategies to keep attention on the roadway.
The control group will receive a web-based intervention for general health promotion and is designed to enhance participants' knowledge and ability to reduce their risk of adverse health conditions including, obesity and heart disease.
