The National Advanced Driving Simulator at The University of Iowa Research Park, in collaboration with the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, is inviting adolescents ages 15 or 16 to participate in a driving simulator study evaluating whether training programs can help teens become safer drivers. This study involves three study visits. The first study visit will be scheduled close to the date the teen expects to obtain his or her minor school license (also called a school permit) or intermediate license. The first visit will last up to 4 hours. The second visit will occur about 6 weeks later and will last up to 2 hours. The last visit will occur about 4 months after the second visit and will also last up to 2 hours. Participants who complete all study procedures will be paid $225.

Who can be part of this study? Teens who
• currently possess a valid learner's permit
• are planning to obtain within the next few months either:
1) a minor school license at the age of 15.0 or older, or
2) an intermediate driver's license before the age of 17
• are planning to drive on a regular basis (i.e., at least two times per week) after obtaining their license
• are willing to track the number of miles they drive each week during the study
