Brief Summary

Project MADD was designed to attempt to curb the alarming trends related to drunk driving and to move the field forward by testing a brief parent-intervention's ability to change adolescents' drinking, impaired driving, and riding with impaired driver behaviors. The aim of this project is to provide an easy-to-implement and low-cost alternative parent-based intervention that can be widely disseminated to address this important public health problem.

Conditions

Underage Drinking; Driving Under the Influence; Drinking, Teen

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Typical Weekend Drinking (DDQ)

  Typical weekend drinking was assessed using the Daily Drinking Questionnaire (DDQ; Collins et al., 1985), which asked teens to indicate the number of drinks they consumed on a typical Friday and Saturday during the past 6 months. These two items were summed to create the number of typical weekend drinks. Higher scores indicate the teen consumed a higher number of drinks on a typical weekend.

  Baseline, 6 month follow-up, and 12 month follow-up

• Declining to Ride With Impaired Drivers

  Declining riding with impaired drivers was assessed with two items adapted from Hultgren et al (2018). Teens were asked to indicate the number of times they declined a ride from a driver that consumed alcohol and the number of times they declined a ride from a driver that consumed any drug other than alcohol (e.g., marijuana, opioids) in the past 6 months. Responses were summed to indicate the number of times they declined rides from impaired drivers in the past 6 months. Higher scores indicate the participant declined more rides from impaired drivers.

  T4 (12-months post-baseline)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Willingness to Ride in a Car With an Impaired Driver

  Baseline, 6 month follow-up, and 12 month follow-up
