Expanding the Use and Understanding of Evidence-Based Teen Pregnancy Prevention Programs

This project involves designing new evaluations of teen pregnancy and other risk prevention programs that build on a growing portfolio of research funded under the Office of Adolescent Health’s Teen Pregnancy Prevention program. This second generation of evaluation activities will address a more targeted set of research questions than the studies funded to date by identifying and testing:

• Replications of evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention programs that are commonly used but understudied
• Significant or meaningful adaptations to existing evidence-based approaches
• Selected core components, key activities, and implementation strategies

The project will also pilot several of the designed evaluations.
