This ICR is
approved on the understanding that 1) the incentive will be $10 for
each phase of the study and for each parent and child, as in
previous Checkpoints studies; 2) NIH will make response rates and
study lengths consistent in the supporting statement; 3)NIH will
keep track of those parent/teen dads who refuse to enroll in the
program at the DMV (e.g. how many there were, whether they were
from single parent families, etc.), report these findings, and
temper data interpretation and study conclusions accordingly; 4)
Within 6 months of approval, NIH will share with OMB information on
all the characteristics of the other Rhode Island DMVs and the
populations they serve that might reasonably limit generalizability
of the results to all of RI; study conclusions will be reported
with these threats to external validity in mind; 5) Within 6 months
of approval, NIH will share with OMB information on all the
characteristics of Rhode Island (e.g. driving terrain, weather
conditions, demographics) that might reasonably limit
generalizability of the RI results to other states; study
conclusions will be reported with these threats to external
validity in mind; 6) at the conclusion of the study, NIH will share
with OMB what the response rate was and results of non-response
bias analyses before reporting that results are generalizable to
all of RI; 7) The PRA blurb, OMB control number, and expiration
date will appear on all of the materials provided to respondents,
including the questionnaires, the IRB consent forms, the
Checkpoints booklet, and the comparison group booklet.

The purpose of the research is to
evaluate in a randomized controlled trial the effectiveness of the
CheckPoints Program when delivered at the local offices of the
state Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV). the CheckPoints Program
includes educational and persuasive materials and messages designed
to encourage parents to adopt a parent teen driving agreement with
their newly licensed teenager that would limit driving for a time
under high risk driving conditions such as with teen passengers and
at night.
