Factors influencing public support for more comprehensive road safety policies: The case of technology-neutral distracted driving rules
The rapid evolution of technology used by drivers has increased the complexity of the driving task and introduced new sources of distraction, necessitating the development of distracted driving legislation that keeps pace with these changes. As such, this study examined drivers’ views of a more comprehensive, technology-neutral approach to distracted driving rules, which extends beyond mobile phone use to include portable devices, in-built and mo…

Are there sex differences in crash and crash-related injury between men and women? A 13-year cohort study of young drivers in Australia
Young men are at increased risk of crash, and this risk persists as they get older and gain more driving experience. Despite lower risk of crash, women are at higher risk of crash related injury requiring hospitalisation. These differences in men's and women's risk of crash and injury signal the need for better understanding of how sex and/or gender may contribute to risk of crash and injury across the life-course
The road beyond licensing: The impact of a driver licensing support program on employment outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians
The Driving Change program appears to be effective in improving employment outcomes for those who gained a licence. Clients from regional areas were more likely to gain a licence compared to those in urban settings, and were predominantly young and unemployed, often a hard to reach cohort. Future licensing programs being delivered in regional areas need integrated pathways into employment opportunities to provide holistic services that address th…
Socioeconomic status during youth and risk of car crash during adulthood. Findings from the DRIVE cohort study
BACKGROUND: Young drivers of low socioeconomic status (SES) have a disproportionally high risk of crashing compared with their more affluent counterparts. Little is known if this risk persists into adulthood and if it differs between men and women. METHODS: We used data from a 2003/2004 Australian survey of young drivers (n=20 806), which included measures of drivers' demographics and established crash risk factors. These data were linked to poli…
Exposure of mobile phones and mass media in maternal health services use in developing nations: Evidence from Urban Health Survey 2013 of Bangladesh
Communications through mobile phones and mass media have shown to be useful for health promotion activities in developing nations. This study explored the potential association of mothers’ mobile phone ownership and mass media exposure on maternal health care services in a developing nation setting: urban Bangladesh. The Urban Health Survey 2013 was examined for antenatal care, delivery assistance, and postnatal care of both mothers and children …
Communities driving change: Evaluation of an Aboriginal driver licensing programme in Australia
The Driving Change programme was developed to facilitate access to licensing in Aboriginal communities in Australia. This process evaluation aimed to explore whether Driving Change was implemented as intended and was addressing the needs of the communities. A mixed methods approach was used, with triangulation of client data (n = 984), semi-structured interviews (n = 18) and client discussion groups (n = 21). Descriptive and regression analyses o…
Social Policy Implications Relating to Road Trauma in a Rapidly Motorizing World: The Example of China
The World Health Organization ( WHO ) identifies road trauma as a major public health issue in all countries, though most notably among low‐to‐middle income countries and particularly those experiencing rapid motorization, such as China. As China transitions from a nation of bicycle riders and pedestrians to one where car ownership is increasingly desired, there is a need to address the accompanying social policy challenges. With this increased m…
P2-501 Accuracy of self-report of on-road crashes and traffic offences in a cohort of young drivers: The drive study
Introduction Road traffic injuries are a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, particularly among young adults. While surveys are widely used to measure the incidence of on-road crashes and offences, little is known about the validity of self-reports of these events, particularly among young drivers. This study examines the accuracy of self-report of on-road crashes and traffic offences among participants in the DRIVE study: a cohort s…
Socioeconomic status and risk of car crash injury, independent of place of residence and driving exposure: Results from the DRIVE Study
BACKGROUND: Previous studies that found increased crash risks for young drivers of low socioeconomic status (SES) have failed to adjust for factors such as driving exposure and rural residence. This aim of this study is to examine the independent effect of SES on crash risk, adjusting for such factors, and to examine the relationship between injury severity following a crash and SES. METHODS: Information on risk factors for crash collected from 2…
Utilization of Research in Policymaking for Graduated Driver Licensing
Young drivers are overrepresented in road trauma and vehicle-related deaths, and there is substantial evidence for the effectiveness of graduated driver licensing (GDL) policies that minimize young drivers’ exposure to high-risk driving situations. However, it is unclear what role research plays in the process of making GDL policies. To understand how research is utilized in this context, we interviewed influential GDL policy actors in Australia …
Novice Drivers' Risky Driving Behavior, Risk Perception, and Crash Risk: Findings From the DRIVE Study
Objectives. We explored the risky driving behaviors and risk perceptions of a cohort of young novice drivers and sought to determine their associations with crash risk. Methods. Provisional drivers aged 17 to 24 (n = 20 822) completed a detailed questionnaire that included measures of risk perception and behaviors; 2 years following recruitment, survey data were linked to licensing and police-reported crash data. Poisson regression models that ad…
