of healthy marriage education services
to Hispanics, recognizing their diversity
with respect to country of origin,
language, and level of acculturation,
among other factors.

OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is proposing a data
collection activity as part of the
Evaluation of Pregnancy Prevention
Approaches study. This study will
assess the effectiveness of a range of
programs designed to prevent or reduce
sexual risk behavior and pregnancy
among older adolescents. Knowing what
types of programs are effective will
enhance programmatic decisions by
policymakers and practitioners.
The proposed activity involves the
collection of information from
observations of program activities and
interviews with a range of experts about
various aspects of existing prevention
programs and topics the experts view as
important to address through
evaluation. These data will be used to
help enhance decisions about the types
of programs to be evaluated in the
study.
Respondents: Researchers and policy
experts, program directors, program
staff, or school administrators.
