Key Findings
Key Findings:
- AIM 4 Teen Moms succeeded in reducing rates of unprotected sexual activity among teen mothers.
- AIM 4 Teen Moms increased teen mothers’ exposure to information on certain types of contraceptive methods.
- We found no evidence of statistically significant impacts of AIM 4 Teen Moms on school or work engagement, educational aspirations, attitudes toward birth control, or pregnancy intentions.
This study reports interim findings from a large-scale demonstration project and evaluation of AIM 4 Teen Moms, a positive youth development program designed to increase contraceptive use and reduce the risk of repeat pregnancy among new teen mothers. The study reports interim impacts of the program on contraceptive use behaviors and rates of unprotected sex measured about a year after the mother had enrolled in the study. The report also examines program impacts on school enrollment or employment status, educational aspirations, and attitudes and intentions regarding contraceptive use.
