Title: Evaluation of Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Approaches--
First Follow-up Data Collection.
OMB No.: ICRAS: 0970-0360.
Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACE),
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing a data
collection activity as part of the Evaluation of Adolescent Pregnancy
Prevention Approaches (PPA). PPA is a random assignment evaluation
designed to result in rigorous 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 demonstration
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.
This request for comment follows on a 60-Day Federal Register
Public Comment Request Notice, published on Monday, July 12, 2010, pp.
39695-39696, with the document identifier of OS-0990-New.
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 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.
