Youth Road Safety Programs and relevant research

The overarching aim of this project was to inform a potential road safety program to be delivered in Years 9-12 in Tasmanian schools. A comprehensive literature review of youth road safety education provided guiding principles to assist in the program design and direction.

The specific aims of this project included:

1. Gain knowledge regarding youth road safety education nationally and internationally.
2. Understand factors contributing to the efficacy of road safety education programs.
3. Identify effective education countermeasures in preventing youth crashes (including why).
4. Understand how youth road safety outcomes can be improved through education.
