In this brief, we discuss how attrition affects individual- and cluster-level RCTs, how it is assessed, and strategies to limit it. We pay particular attention to meeting the requirements of the current U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Evidence Standards for Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Evaluations.
