Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Proportion of each group (treatment and controls) who have one or more collision in their first year of driving post-test. This is measured at 12 months post-test (and in surveys at 3 and 6 months post-test also).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Various secondary measures are used. Measures taken at test pass, and then at 3, 6 and 12 months post-test. For each intervention, there are secondary measures associated with the intended mechanisms by which the intervention is assumed to work. These are: 1. Logbook: Amount of practice and variety of roads driven on during learning 2. HP Training: Data on theory test HP scores will be used to assess this skill, and a scale on 'hazardous situations' will be used in the post-test surveys 3. Classroom-based intervention: Survey items on driving style 4. Parent-teen mentoring intervention: Items asking about limits imposed on driving situations, and exposure to driving at night and with peer-aged passengers 5. Telematics app: Survey items on driving style	—
