(1) Background: Few teen driving safety programs focus on increasing parental engagement with high-risk teen drivers, specifically those with a traffic violation. This study explored parents'/guardians' ('parents') experiences with a teen driving safety program, ProjectDRIVE, including facilitators and barriers to program engagement. (2) Methods: We conducted virtual, semi-structured interviews with parents who completed ProjectDRIVE, which included in-vehicle driving feedback technology and individualized virtual training with parents on effective parent-teen communication. (3) Results: Twenty interviews (with 17 females and three males) were transcribed verbatim and independently coded by three coders using systematic, open, and focused coding. Three major themes were identified: factors influencing a parent's initial decision to participate, factors influencing continued engagement, and perceived benefits of participation. The decision to participate was influenced by these subthemes: parental motivation to help their teen, perceived program usefulness, program endorsement, program incentives, parents' busy schedules, and lack of access to a car/internet. Subthemes impacting continued engagement included enhanced communication skills, teen willingness to engage, strong parental engagement, and teens' other priorities. Perceived benefits included greater self-efficacy in communication, improved communication patterns and frequency, and enhanced parent-teen relationships. (4) Conclusions: These findings may set the foundation for developing and implementing future court-ordered parent-based teen safe driving programs for teens with traffic citations.
(1) 背景：很少有青少年驾驶安全计划侧重于提高父母与高风险青少年司机的参与度，特别是那些有交通违法行为的青少年司机。本研究探讨了父母（父母）参与青少年驾驶安全计划，即项目 DRIVE 的经验，包括计划参与的促进因素和障碍。
(2) 方法：我们对完成项目 DRIVE 的父母进行了虚拟的、半结构化访谈，其中包括车内驾驶反馈技术和针对有效父母-青少年沟通的个性化虚拟培训。
(3) 结果：对 20 次访谈（包括 17 名女性和 3 名男性）进行了逐字转录，并由三位编码员使用系统、开放和重点编码进行独立编码。确定了三个主要主题：影响父母最初参与决定的因素、影响持续参与的因素以及参与的感知益处。参与决策受到以下主题的影响：父母帮助孩子的动机、感知计划的有用性、计划认可、计划激励、父母繁忙的日程安排和缺乏汽车/互联网。影响持续参与的子主题包括增强沟通技巧、青少年愿意参与、父母的积极参与以及青少年的其他优先事项。感知益处包括在沟通方面的自信心增强、沟通模式和频率的改善以及父母与青少年的关系得到加强。
(4) 结论：这些发现可能为制定和实施针对有交通违规记录的青少年的未来基于父母的青少年安全驾驶计划奠定基础。
