Based on the National Highway Traffic Safety Association's (NHTSA) Report, fatalities due to distracted driving are on the rise and the highest proportion of fatalities by age group is the 20-29 year old category. To date little has been done to educate college students about the dangers of distracted driving and engage these students in promoting a safe driving culture. Intervening among college students has the potential for making real-time behavior change, can foster a lifetime of safe driving habits among these students, and can help contribute to a culture of safe driving that can be created and sustained through positive messages from peers. The goals of this study were to develop, implement and evaluate a distracted driving presentation for college students to change knowledge, attitude and behavior on distracted driving. A 30-min, multi-media presentation on distracted driving was presented to 19 colleges and universities, totaling 444 college students (mean age 23.7±7.0 years of age, 61% females, 39% males). Students completed three surveys: prior to the workshop (interview 1), immediately after the workshop (interview 2), and 3 months following the workshop (interview 3). We assessed changes between interview 1 and interview 2 and found 15 of the 15 attitude-knowledge based questions significantly improved after the course. In addition, we assessed changes from interviews 1 and 3, and found 11 of the 15 attitude-knowledge based questions maintained their significance. Responses to behavior related questions at three months were also compared to baseline, and significant improvements were found for 12 of the 14 questions. While this study was successful in improving the short-term attitude-knowledge and behaviors on distracted driving, work is needed to sustain (and evaluate) long-term effects.
根据美国国家公路交通安全协会（NHTSA）的报告，分心驾驶导致的死亡人数正在上升，按年龄组划分，死亡人数比例最高的是20至29岁年龄段。迄今为止，在教育大学生认识分心驾驶的危险性以及促使这些学生参与推广安全驾驶文化方面，所做的工作很少。对大学生进行干预有可能促使他们实时改变行为，能够在这些学生中培养一生的安全驾驶习惯，并且有助于营造一种安全驾驶文化，这种文化可以通过同龄人的积极信息来创建和维持。本研究的目的是开发、实施并评估一个针对大学生的分心驾驶演示文稿，以改变他们在分心驾驶方面的知识、态度和行为。一个时长30分钟的关于分心驾驶的多媒体演示文稿被呈现给19所高校的444名大学生（平均年龄23.7±7.0岁，61%为女性，39%为男性）。学生们完成了三项调查：在研讨会之前（访谈1）、研讨会结束后立即进行（访谈2）以及研讨会结束3个月后（访谈3）。我们评估了访谈1和访谈2之间的变化，发现15个基于态度 - 知识的问题中有15个在课程结束后有显著改善。此外，我们评估了访谈1和访谈3之间的变化，发现15个基于态度 - 知识的问题中有11个保持了其显著性。还将三个月时与行为相关问题的回答与基线进行了比较，发现14个问题中有12个有显著改善。虽然这项研究成功地改善了大学生在分心驾驶方面的短期态度 - 知识和行为，但仍需要开展工作来维持（并评估）长期效果。
