Office of the Secretary/Office of Public Health and Science/Office
Adolescent Pregnancy Programs.
Abstract: The data collection will take place once, over a three-
day period, in early 2010. An estimated 2000 adults will be screened to
identify parents who are willing for their child to participate in the
study and whose child is eligible. Screening will take an estimated 3
minutes, on average. Study participants will total 160 adolescents ages
13-15. Participation in the study will take an estimated 2 hours on
average; including time spent responding to a mini-questionnaire and
participating in a bulletin board focus group. Participants will self-
administer the mini-questionnaire at home on personal computers and
will also participate in the focus group online. The specific aim of
this study is to assess qualitatively what kinds of information about
sex adolescents want to hear from their parents and their perspectives
on the factors that either hinder or facilitate effective
communication.
