ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Aggressive Driving and Road Rage: A Driving Simulation Experiment," is studying how aggressive driving behaviors affect road safety. The researchers want to understand how different age groups respond to driving situations that may provoke aggression, as aggressive driving is a major cause of traffic accidents and fatalities in the United States.

The trial is currently looking for participants from Central Ohio, specifically adults aged 18 and older, depending on the specific experiment. To take part, individuals must have a valid driver's license and should not experience motion sickness. If you join the study, you’ll participate in driving simulations that mimic real-life situations to help the researchers gather important data on this critical issue. Your involvement could contribute to safer driving practices and help reduce traffic-related injuries and deaths.
