Components of these efforts include (1)
implementing evidence-based or
evidence-informed prevention
programs; (2) linking teens to quality
health services; (3) educating
stakeholders (community leaders,
parents and other constituents) about
relevant evidence-based or evidenceinformed strategies to reduce teen
pregnancy and data on needs and
resources in target communities; and (4)
supporting the sustainability of the
community-wide teen pregnancy
prevention effort.

and (2) the proportion of youth who
have engaged in sexual intercourse but
have used contraception consistently
during the past 12 months. To
determine if the change in this
proportion of interest in the
intervention community is significantly
different from the control community is
one of the most important parameters to
be estimated. Power analysis
determined that 1,200 surveys per
community will be sufficient to detect
this difference. The precise number of
youth surveyed will depend on the
response rates, and will be between
1,200 and 1,500 per community.

to measure risk behaviors, pregnancies,

data collection instrument for the
proposed study is a modified version of
a recently approved survey (OMB No.

Clearance is being requested to expand
the utilization of a modified version of
the previously-approved instrument.
The Outcome Evaluation of Teenage

a medically underserved population,
and must document the re-evaluation
contemporaneously (§ 1001.952(w)(4)).
OIG may request to see
documentation kept pursuant to the safe
harbor in order to determine compliance
with the terms of the safe harbor and the
fraud and abuse laws. Compliance with
the safe harbor is voluntary, and no
party is ever required to comply with
the safe harbor.
The safe harbor does not entail a
routine and continuous affirmative
collection of data form the regulated

that choose to avail themselves of the
safe harbor must have initial
documentation and a re-evaluation of
the arrangement at least annually. The
respondents are businesses and/or other

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
and the Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) on adolescent pregnancy
prevention evaluation activities.
OAH has provided funding to ACF to
oversee the implementation of the
Evaluation of Adolescent Pregnancy
Prevention Approaches (PPA). PPA is a
random assignment evaluation which
will expand available evidence on
effective ways to reduce teen pregnancy.
The evaluation will document and test
a range of pregnancy prevention
approaches in up to eight program sites.
OAH will jointly oversee with ASPE
the Impact Evaluation of the Teen
Pregnancy Prevention Program Grantees
(TPP Impact Evaluation). The TPP
Impact Evaluation will be a random
assignment evaluation which will
determine whether program models
funded as part of the OAH evidencebased Teen Pregnancy Prevention
Initiative are effective at preventing teen
pregnancy, reducing sexually
transmitted infections, and/or impacting
sexual risk behaviors.
The findings from both evaluations
will be of interest to the general public,
to policy-makers, and to organizations
