Smart tech to improve road safety among young drivers
Scientists from The University of Western Australia are seeking P-platers aged 17 to 20 living in regional WA to participate in a study examining road behaviour in young drivers, and whether a smartphone app that provides driving feedback could improve road safety.
The call for volunteers coincides with Road Safety Week (May 16-23), an annual initiative that highlights the impact of road trauma and ways to reduce it.
The study is funded through a grant from the Neurotrauma Research Program, and researchers are seeking young drivers who live in the South West, Great Southern and Mid-West regions and drive three or more times a week.

How we can retrain our anxious brains to think positive
Worried brains can be retrained to respond to everyday situations in a less threatening way to reduce anxiety levels, according to new research published by researchers from The University of Western Australia and the University of Virginia.
The study, published in Behaviour Research and Therapy, reported on the initial feasibility and effectiveness of a free online intervention program for anxiety and found it was successful at reducing anxiety in highly anxious individuals.
The intervention program was based on research showing that anxious individuals tended to interpret upcoming situations in a threatening manner, and that modifying this interpretation style could reduce anxiety.
