TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Relation of parent-teen agreement on restrictions to teen risky driving over 9 months JO - American journal of health behavior A1 - Beck, Kenneth H. A1 - Hartos, Jessica L. A1 - Simons-Morton, Bruce G. SP - 533 EP - 543 VL - 30 IS - 5 N2 - Objectives: To determine the relations among parent-teen discordance for restrictions on driving conditions, driving rules, and consequences for rule violations at licensure and subsequent risky teen driving. Methods: Parents and teens completed telephone interviews at 1, 4, and 9 months after teens became licensed. Results: At each time interval, the degree of disagreement with parent restrictions on driving conditions was positively associated with teen risky driving. Conclusions: These results demonstrate a positive association between parent-teen discordance for driving conditions and teen risky driving. Initial establishment of restrictions and agreement with them may have longer term protective effects against teen driving risk.
