Safer Teen Driving

Building Consensus for Safer Teen Driving is a multifaceted project to increase awareness of the importance of limiting unsupervised driving and other risky behaviors among young drivers and passengers, while building the capacity to encourage graduated driver’s licensing (PDF) models within medical homes, families, and policy environments.

Current activities include hosting group discussions about teen driving, media messaging with teens aged 14-18, increasing physician counseling on safe motor vehicle behaviors, working with parents and teens to develop skills to negotiate a family-based graduated driving contract, and the development of a coalition to better understand the issues around teen driving behaviors in the state of Arkansas.

The project is funded by the Allstate Foundation through the National Program Office of the Injury Free Coalition for Kids with additional support from the Highway Safety Office of the Arkansas State Police.  For more information please contact, Mary Porter, Project Coordinator, at (501) 364-3396 or portermarye@uams.edu.
