New online training helps parents turn teen drivers into hazard-spotting pros
NCT ID NCT06611241
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a web-based training program called HazAPP that teaches parents how to coach their teen drivers to identify road hazards. One hundred parent-teen pairs took part; half received the training and half did not. Researchers compared how parents instructed their teens during real drives and in a driving simulator, and measured the teens' driving performance. The goal was to see if the program improves the quality of parental instruction and teen hazard anticipation.

Hazard Anticipation Program for Parents of Teen Drivers (HazAPP) - a web-based behavioral training for parents
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could give parents a simple, effective way to teach their teens to avoid crashes, potentially reducing accidents among new drivers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study (100 participants) that measured teaching quality and simulator performance, not real-world crash rates. The results may not apply to all families or guarantee fewer accidents.
