Carter, Lemuria, McBride, Maranda.  2016.  Texting While Driving Among Teens: Exploring User Perceptions to Identify Policy Recommendations. Proceedings of the 17th International Digital Government Research Conference on Digital Government Research. :375–378.

Texting while driving has emerged as a significant threat to citizen safety. In this study, we utilize general deterrence theory (GDT), protection motivation theory and personality traits to evaluate texting while driving (TWD) compliance intentions among teenage drivers. This paper presents the results of our pilot study. We administered an online survey to 105 teenage and young adult drivers. The potential implications for research and practice and policy are discussed.
