Summary
This study tests whether a 4-week educational program called 'Stay Awake, Stay Alive' can reduce drowsy driving among college students in Nevada. Participants attend weekly group sessions with role-plays, videos, and discussions, and track their sleep and driving. Researchers compare this program to standard AAA education to see which works better.
