From focus groups to production of a distracted driving video: Using teen input to drive injury prevention programming

In this study, the authors use focus groups to evaluate the Impact program, a teen-focused injury prevention program designed to decrease high-risk driving behaviors. 167 secondary school students of varied geographies, cultures, and socioeconomic backgrounds offer feedback on the program via a mixed-methods questionnaire that assesses program content, format, relevance, quality and effectiveness. 89% of respondents find the Impact presentation to be relevant to the issues faced by themselves and their peers. The issues that the adolescents deem most important include texting while driving, consequences of drugs, partying, self-harm, and abusive relationships.
