National Institutes of Health
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Young Drivers
Intervention Study
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted to
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request to review and
approve the information collection listed below. This proposed
information collection was previously published in the Federal Register
on December 30, 1998, pages 71933-71934 and allowed 60 days for public
comment. No public comments were received. The purpose of this notice
is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The National
Institute of Health may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is
not required to respond to, an information collection that has been
extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless
it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
Proposed Collection
Title: Young Drivers Intervention Study.
Type of Information Collection Request: New.
Need and Use of Information Collection: The purposes of this study
are (1) determine the impact of parental actions in monitoring and
controlling their adolescents' driving behavior, and (2) test the
effectiveness of education in promoting parental restriction of
adolescent risky driving behavior. The specific questions addressed in
this study include: (1) Are parents' perceptions about driving risks
associated with parental restrictions on teen driving? (2) Is a parent-
teen driving agreement an effective way of reducing teen-aged risky
driving? (3) Is information tailored to the interests and background of
the participants more effective than non-tailored information? (4) Do
parental restrictions on teen driving reduce traffic citations and
crashes among teens?
In each of two states, 4000 parent-teen dyads will be recruited,
asked to provide informed consent, and interviewed by telephone.
Interviews will occur upon recruitment, at the time of licensure, 6-
months post-licensure, and 12-months post-licensure. Parents will be
asked about their attitudes and management practices regarding their
teens' driving. Teens will be asked about their driving attitudes,
practices, and privileges. With the consent of the participants, the
driving records for each teen-aged participant will be obtained from
the state motor vehicle administration and citations and crashes will
be examined 24-months post-licensure.
Parent-teen dyads will be assigned randomly to an information-only
group or tailored-education group. Parents and teens in the
information-only group will receive standard information on safe
driving. Parents and teens in the tailored-education group will receive
personalize educational materials in the mail, including a parent-teen
driving agreement and an educational videotape.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Type of Respondents: Teen-aged children and parents. The annual
reporting burden is as follows: Estimated number of Respondents: 14134;
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.33; Average Burden
Hours Per Response: .50, and Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours
Requested: 9399. The annualized cost to respondents is estimated at:
$47,333. There are no capital costs to report. There are no Operating
or Maintenance Costs to report.
Request for Comments
Written comments and/or suggestions form the public and affected
agencies are invited on one or more or the following points: (1)
Whether the
[[Page 32241]]
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the function of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (3) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques for other forms of information technology.
