RRISKy adolescents: impact evaluation of the RRISK (Reduce Risk Increased Student Knowledge) program

This study, funded by NSW Motor Accident Authority, used multivariate hierarchical regression models to evaluate an innovative program targeting adolescent risk taking associated with driving, alcohol and drug use and partying behaviours. It also examines the influence of heavy episodic drinking (HED) and sensation seeking (SS) tendencies on these behaviours. This paper relates to an implementation paper, which is presented in the ‘practitioners based papers’ stream (RRISK (Reduce Risk Increased Student Knowledge) Program. School based approach to road safety and adolescent risk taking). (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E211985.
