Abstract: Although analyses of crash data have advanced our understanding of motor vehiclecrashes, the vast majority of studies are plagued by an inability to account for  driving exposure  the extent towhich drivers actually drive and are thus  at risk for a crash. As a result, most studies have been unable tovalidly compare crash rates between driver groups or measure changes in rates within individuals over time. Inaddition, we do not have high-quality methods to estimate young drivers exposure to (i.e., frequency ofengagement in) high-risk driving behaviors. To address these two critical gaps, we aimed to establish a costefficientand highly generalizable Quasi Induced Exposure (QIE)-based method that can: (1) identify specific teendriver groups who spend more time driving in high-risk conditions and (2) account for differences in time  at risk when estimating teen driver crash risk.
