We believe that most car crashes are preventable, not inevitable.
Motor vehicle crashes remain a leading cause of injury and death for teens. Teen Driver Source was re-built and launched in 2018. Its original version was created in 2010 by the Young Driver Safety Research team at the Center for Injury Research and Prevention (CIRP) at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Its purpose remains the same: to provide parents, teens, educators, and policymakers with the latest information and tools to help prevent teen driver crashes.
Teen Driver Source is frequently updated as new research is published, interventions are evaluated, and new resources and recommendations for families and stakeholders about teen driver safety become available.
