Proposed Project: Evaluation of Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention
Approaches and the Impact Evaluation of the Teen Pregnancy Prevention
Program Grantees: Baseline Data Collection--OMB No. OS-0990--NEW--
Office of Adolescent Health in collaboration with the Administration
for Children and Families and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for
Planning and Evaluation.
Abstract: The Office of Adolescent Health (OAH), Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS), 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 evaluation 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.
OAH will jointly oversee with ASPE the Impact Evaluation of the
Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program Grantees (TPP Impact Evaluation). The
TPP Impact Evaluation will be a random assignment evaluation which will
determine whether program models funded as part of the OAH evidence-
based Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiative are effective at preventing
teen pregnancy, reducing sexually transmitted infections, and/or
impacting sexual risk behaviors.
The findings from both evaluations will be of interest to the
general public, to policy-makers, and to organizations interested in
teen pregnancy prevention.
