Proposed Project: Evaluation of Pregnancy Prevention Approaches:
First Follow-Up Data Collection--OMB No. 0970-0360--Office of
Adolescent Health in collaboration with the Administration for Children
and Families.
Abstract: The Office of Adolescent Health (OAH), Office of Public
Health and Science (OPHS), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS), is requesting approval by OMB on a new collection. OAH is
overseeing and coordinating adolescent pregnancy prevention evaluation
efforts as part of the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiative. OAH is
working collaboratively with the Office of the Assistant Secretary for
Planning and Evaluation (ASPE), the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), and the Administration for Children and Families
(ACF) on adolescent pregnancy prevention activities.
OAH has provided funding to ACF to oversee the implementation of
the Evaluation of Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Approaches (PPA). PPA
is a random assignment evaluation which will expand available evidence
on effective ways to reduce teen pregnancy. The evaluation will
document and test a range of pregnancy prevention approaches in up to
eight program sites. The findings of the evaluation will be of interest
to the general public, to policy-makers, and to organizations
interested in teen pregnancy prevention.
OAH and ACF are proposing a data collection activity as part of the
PPA evaluation. This proposed information collection activity focuses
on collecting follow-up data from a self-administered questionnaire
which will be analyzed to determine program effects. Through a survey
instrument, respondents will be asked to answer carefully selected
questions about demographics and risk and protective factors related to
teen pregnancy.
Respondents: The data will be collected through private, self-
administered questionnaires completed by study participants, i.e.
adolescents assigned to a select school or community teen pregnancy
prevention program or to a control group. Surveys will be distributed
and collected by trained professional staff.
