Keeping Children Safe on the Road: Emerging Evidence from Pregnancy to Adolescence
Sjaan Koppel, PhD
This presentation brings together two applied behavioural studies that sit at different points in the life course but share a common challenge: safety-critical behaviours often change when people move outside familiar contexts. The presentation will begin with pregnancy and seatbelt use - an area where compliance is high, yet 'correct' use is far from assured, and then move to adolescence, focusing on independent mobility and safety in the context of rideshare use.
