Proposed Project: Evaluation of
Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention
Approaches (PPA) and the Impact
Evaluation of the Teen Pregnancy
program sites. OAH, ACF, and ASPE are
proposing first follow-up data collection
activity as part of the PPA and TPP
Impact evaluations. Respondents will be
asked to answer carefully selected
questions about risk and protective
factors related to teen pregnancy,
intermediate outcomes, and behavioral
outcomes.
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
interested in teen pregnancy prevention.

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
and the Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) on adolescent pregnancy
prevention evaluation activities.
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

(OS), Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is requesting a 3-year
extension of clearance for the data
collection under the anti-kickback
statute, as described below. In order for
an arrangement between a health center
and a donor individual or entity to
enjoy safe harbor protection, the
arrangement (1) Must be set out in
writing (§ 1001.952(w)(1)(i)(A)); (2) the
written agreement must be signed by the
parties (§ 1001.952(w)(1)(i)(B)); (3) the

by the individual or entity to the health
center (§ 1001.952(w)(1)(i)(C)); (4) the
health center must document its basis
for its reasonable expectation that the
arrangement will benefit a medically
underserved population
(§ 1001.952(w)(3)); and (5) the health
center, at reasonable intervals, must
reevaluate the arrangement to ensure
that it is expected to continue to benefit
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
community. However, health centers
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
private sector for-profit and not-forprofit institutions.

The main objective for the proposed Outcome Evaluation of Teenage

The Outcome Evaluation of Teenage Pregnancy Prevention: Integrating
Services, Programs, and Strategies through Community-wide Initiatives
will focus on the combined change of two proportions: (1) The
proportion of youth who have not engaged in sexual intercourse during
the past 12 months 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
