Summary

We propose to test a potential intervention to reduce distracted driving among high school students that could be used as part of future research trials and school campaigns. This intervention is designed to encourage use of a setting that silences incoming calls and messages while the person is driving.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to test an intervention to reduce distracted driving among high school students. We're interested in learning the use of Do Not Disturb While Driving (DNDWD) by high school students. Participants will be recruited to participate into a 4-week study. Those that consent will download a driving app that will monitor their phone use while driving. Halfway through the monitoring period, we will ask participants to turn on DNDWD. Participants will also have the opportunity to enroll into an auto-reply message contest for best message. Once the 4- week monitoring period is complete participants will complete and exit survey
