The aim of this study was to examine the association between a 50-minute delay (7:20 am to 8:10 am) in high school start times in Fairfax County (FC) Virginia and changes in rates of adolescent motor vehicle crashes. Crash rates in FC were also compared to those in the rest of the state during the same time period.
