This is the third update of research on graduated driver licensing (GDL) and related teenage driver issues. It briefly summarizes research published since or not included in the 2005 update (Hedlund, J., & Compton, R. (2005). Graduated driver licensing research in 2004 and 2005. Journal of Safety Research, 36(2), 109-119.), describes research in progress of which the authors are aware, and anno...

The authors are grateful for UCARE grants from the University of Nebraska to BLP and JRW. JRW is from Columbus, NE and graduated from the University of Nebraska Biochemistry program in 2005; he is now a M.S. Student in the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture. BLP is from Grand Island, NE and graduated from the U.N. Biochemistry program in 2006; she is now a graduate student in the Bioscienc...

A consistent finding in the literature is that newly graduated medical students often do not prossess the basic skills required to perform their jobs. Training designed to prepare newly graduated medical students for intermship was developed and delivered to 106 newly graduated medical students. Feedback on the course was obtained using anonymous pre-and post-course questionaires. A total of 32...

In this study, we assess the impact of driver education on the risk of collisions in a Graduated Licensing System (GLS). Ontario's GLS requires all new drivers to successfully pass through two stages of graduated license (referred to as G1 and G2, respectively) before full licensure is granted. Surveys of driving behaviour and related factors were administered to Grades 11 and 12 students with ...

The effect on elastic stockings on ambulatory venous pressure was investigated in 22 limbs with deep venous insufficiency. The failure of some elastic stockings to reduce the ambulatory venous pressure in some limbs is due to the lack of graduated compression, which is caused by ankle-calf disproportion--narrow ankles and wide calves. This can be recognised by using the pressure-girth profile a...

BACKGROUND As a phased approach to initiating driving, graduated driver licensing restricts driving by young drivers with the aim of reducing crashes. It might increase riding with parents or on buses, which might be safer, or walking or biking, which might be more dangerous. We examined whether it increases nondriver injuries, and whether it reduces total injuries combining drivers and nondriv...

the main purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of trade openness on the employment and the real wage for the iranian food and beverage industries over the year 2007. for this purpose in this study, the ratio of export to production value has been considered as a proxy for trade openness and the main model has been estimated using a dynamic panel data (dpd) approach. the main findin...
