Title: State Abstinence Education Program.
OMB No.: 0970-0381.
Description: The State Abstinence Program was extended through
Fiscal Year 2014 under Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of
2010 (Affordable Care Act, hereafter), Public Law 111-148.
The Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) is accepting
applications from States and Territories for the development and
implementation of the State Abstinence Program. The purpose of this
program is to support decisions to abstain from sexual activity by
providing abstinence programming as
[[Page 75175]]
defined by Section 510(b) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 710(b))
with a focus on those groups that are most likely to bear children out-
of-wedlock, such as youth in or aging out of foster care.
States are encouraged to develop flexible, medically accurate and
effective abstinence-based plans responsive to their specific needs.
These plans must provide abstinence education, and at the option of the
State, where appropriate, mentoring, counseling, and adult supervision
to promote abstinence from sexual activity, with a focus on those
groups which are most likely to bear children out-of-wedlock. An
expected outcome for all programs is to promote abstinence from sexual
activity.
