Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Verification of the completion of supervised practice driving hours for teenagers is challenging. Electronic logbooks could provide an objective alternative to paper logbooks. Factors influencing the adoption of electronic logbooks are poorly understood. We conducted a survey of a nationally representative sample of teenagers and parents in the USA to address these gaps in understanding.
METHODS: The survey was fielded to teenagers who were currently learning to drive or had a full driver\'s licence, and parents of teenager with a learner\'s permit or a driver\'s licence. We measured (1) support for supervised practice driving requirements and logbook requirements, (2) preferences between paper and electronic logbooks and (3) features that would make an electronic logbook useful.
RESULTS: Most parents and teenagers supported both supervised practice driving and logbook requirements. The overwhelming majority of teenagers and parents preferred an electronic logbook over paper. Electronic logbooks that provide (1) summary information about completed drives, (2) parent certification of drives and (3) automatic trip detection were features that were rated most useful by respondents.
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to measure teen and parent support for the logbook format to track supervised practice driving. Public support for electronic logbooks is high, suggesting that policy makers could consider adding an electronic logbook requirement to graduated driver licensing systems to objectively measure completed practice driving hours. Driver educators could also promote the use electronic logbooks to track practice and calibrate behind-the-wheel lessons to the amount of practice driving that has been completed.

摘要：
背景：验证青少年监督练习驾驶时间的完成情况具有挑战性。电子日志可以提供纸质日志的客观替代方案。影响电子日志采用的因素知之甚少。我们对美国青少年和父母的全国代表性样本进行了调查，以解决这些理解上的差距。
方法：调查对象是目前正在学习驾驶或拥有完整驾驶执照的青少年，以及持有学习许可证或驾驶执照的青少年的父母。我们测量了（1）对监督练习驾驶要求和日志要求的支持，（2）纸质和电子日志之间的偏好以及（3）使电子日志有用的功能。
结果：大多数父母和青少年都支持监督驾驶和日志要求。绝大多数青少年和家长更喜欢电子日志而不是纸。提供（1）有关已完成驱动器的摘要信息的电子日志，（2）驱动器的父母认证和（3）自动跳闸检测是受访者认为最有用的功能。
结论：这是第一项测量青少年和父母对日志格式的支持以跟踪监督练习驾驶的研究。公众对电子航海日志的支持很高,建议政策制定者可以考虑在毕业的驾驶执照系统中增加电子日志要求，以客观地衡量完成的练习驾驶时间。驾驶员教育者还可以促进使用电子日志来跟踪练习，并根据已完成的练习驾驶量校准方向盘后面的课程。
