This paper first describes a longitudinal study of a large cohort of young people that included multiple measures over time of psychosocial and behavioral factors, as well as driving records of study participants from licensure well into young adulthood. Then, results from several study analyses are summarized. Problem Behavior Theory (PBT), an approach to understanding adolescent and young adult behavioral development, guided much of the research. The goal of the longitudinal research study has been to understand the predictors of substance use and impaired driving, so that appropriate, timely, theory-based interventions can be developed, tested, and implemented to reduce the fatalities and injuries from impaired driving traffic crashes. After the study results have been reported, they are summarized and discussed in terms of their contribution, limitations, and implications for future work.
