Abstract:

Distracted driving is a problem for drivers and their passengers. Several programs exist to reduce the distracted driving habits of people who are already drivers. However, there are few programs that teach children before they become drivers, especially in the elementary school, how to intervene with a driver (usually a parent) who is distracted and none that have been evaluated. Only one program was identified that developed both a lesson to teach elementary school children how to intervene with a distracted drivers and an evaluation of the lesson. The COVID-19 pandemic made it necessary to pivot from the classroom to online and to broaden the program to include high school as well as elementary school students. Among high school students, the program produced a statistically significant increases in students’ knowledge of distracted driving and what they need to say to their drivers to refrain from driving distracted, statistically significant increases in the frequency of intervening with parents and passengers (but not friends), and a reported decrease in distracted driving of their parents and friends.
