Explore the adherence rate of individuals by conducting a naturalistic observation study of cell phone use while driving. Select a location where you can observe individuals driving; note the frequency of cell phone use and nonuse in people driving. You should conduct your naturalistic observation for a minimum of 15 minutes.
Analyze your data to determine the proportion of individuals utilizing their cell phone while driving. Categorize those you observed by their demographics (race, sex, age) as best as you can without actually interacting with the population.
Research the state and national rates of cell phone use and driving; how do these figures compare to your observations?
Based on your observation and the statistics for your state, what can be done to limit cell phone use while driving?
