<p>This project is a collaboration between UMTRI and the American Academy of Pediatrics to evaluate the translation of the Checkpoints Program for delivery to parents via a brief intervention by primary care providers of teens with referral to an interactive web site. The project's goal is to offer a sustainable and appealing delivery mode that could be widely adopted and institutionalized to reduce the high toll of traffic crashes on teenagers.</p>
