In this brief, we provide an overview of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Teen Pregnancy Prevention Evidence Review, an ongoing systematic review of the teen pregnancy prevention literature designed to identify programs with evidence of effectiveness in reducing teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and associated sexual risk behaviors. This brief is targeted at researchers planning or implementing an evaluation of a teen pregnancy prevention program, to provide information about the review process and requirements.
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.
