Abstract

The ability to drive is important to an individual's participation in modern society, as it enhances independence and social and economic opportunity. However, motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of injury-related death in the United States-and the leading cause of death among 15- to 24-year-olds. Thus, it is critical that we sequentially identify who may be at inherently higher crash risk and why their crash risk might be higher, with the ultimate goal of implementing comprehensive approaches to promote safe driving practices and to improve safe mobility.
