We computed hospital charges and compared violations, contributing factors, seatbelt use, and passengers for TDs (16\u201317 years old) relative to adult drivers (18\u201359 years old).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results.<\/jats:title>\n TDs comprised 5.8% of the study population, but were involved in 19.0% of MVCs. TD crashes resulted in $11 million in inpatient hospital charges and 158 fatalities. TD crashes were 1.70 times (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.34, 2.04) less likely to result in fatal injury to drivers than were crashes that involved adult drivers, but TDs were 2.20 times (95% CI: 1.96, 2.47) more likely to receive citations. The following were findings of the study: 1) 11% of all TD crashes but 19% of fatal TD crashes occurred between 2200 and 0600 hours; 2) TDs used seatbelts less often than did adult drivers (79.1% vs 84.4%) and less often with passengers present (81.9% vs 75.0%; 3) TDs were 1.72 times (95% CI: 1.38, 2.14) more likely to be involved in crashes that resulted in seriously or fatally injured occupants when driving with passengers than when driving alone.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions.<\/jats:title>\n TDs are overrepresented in MVCs. TD crashes have a higher fatality rate at night, and TDs wear seatbelts less often than do adult drivers. Passengers affect TD crash characteristics. Graduated driver licensing programs that target state-specific characteristics of TDs may decrease morbidity and mortality.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.107.4.632","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,8,13]],"date-time":"2004-08-13T23:55:51Z","timestamp":1092441351000},"page":"632-637","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["A Population-Based Study of Crashes Involving 16- and 17-Year-Old Drivers: The Potential Benefit of Graduated Driver Licensing Restrictions"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"107","author":[{"given":"Natalie Z.","family":"Cvijanovich","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 From the Intermountain Injury Control Research Center, Department of Pediatrics, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, Utah."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lawrence J.","family":"Cook","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 From the Intermountain Injury Control Research Center, Department of Pediatrics, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, Utah."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"N.
