Three types of feedback will be provided to intervention teens: 1) Direct audio feedback from the installed device; 2) Detailed cumulative driving data via the smart phone app and study website; 3) A customized biweekly driving summary report via study website; and 4) Push notification on the phone screen when a trip ends.
