Catalyzing Young Driver Research via Data Linkage: Development of a Comprehensive Traffic Safety Data Warehouse
Description: Project Narrative High-quality linkage of motor vehicle crash data to other existing administrative data sources has the potential to catalyze advancements in our understanding of crashes—the leading cause of death among US adolescents. The proposed study will link five population-level data sources from the state of New Jersey (birth certificate, driver licensing, police-reported crash, hospital discharge, and death certificate data) in order to create the most comprehensive data warehouse focused on young drivers to date. The resultant warehouse will be primed to support critical, high-priority studies that advance young driver safety as well as to serve as a resource for collaborations on a wide range of topics in traffic safety research, thereby optimizing its ability to advance public health and improve the safety of all road users.
