Fatal motor vehicle crashes involving teenagers.
The major health problem for teenagers is deaths and injuries associated with motor vehicle use. Teenagers are disproportionately involved in fatal crashes both as drivers and passengers; as drivers they are responsible for the crash deaths of many other people including non-teenagers. There are public policies available that would substantially reduce the deaths and injuries that result from teenagers driving, although they have not been widely applied.
