As part of the PREP multicomponent evaluation, Mathematica Policy Research is conducting a random assignment impact study of four PREP-funded programs: Wise Guys in Davenport, Iowa; Reducing the Risk in rural Kentucky; Steps to Success in San Angelo, Texas; and Teen Choice in the New York City area. Key outcomes of interest include sexual initiation and rates of unprotected sex and pregnancy.  Data collection includes a baseline survey conducted before programming and two follow-up surveys.  The study team will produce program-specific impact reports on a rolling basis from 2016 through 2018.  

Efficiency Meets Impact.
That's Progress Together.

To solve their most pressing challenges, organizations turn to Mathematica for deeply integrated expertise. We bring together subject matter and policy experts, data scientists, methodologists, and technologists who work across topics and sectors to help our partners design, improve, and scale evidence-based solutions.
