Proposed Project: Outcome Evaluation
of Teenage Pregnancy Prevention:
Integrating Services, Programs, and
Strategies through Community-wide
Initiatives—OMB No. 0990–NEWOffice of Adolescent Pregnancy
Programs.
The Office of Adolescent Health and
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) are working
collaboratively to address the high
pregnancy rate of women between the
ages of 15–19 by demonstrating the
effectiveness of innovative, multicomponent, community-wide initiatives
in preventing teen pregnancy and
reducing rates of teen births in
communities with the highest rates,
with a focus on reaching African
American and Latino youth aged 15–19.
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.
The main objective for the proposed
Outcome Evaluation of Teenage
Pregnancy Prevention: Integrating
Services, Programs, and Strategies
through Community-wide Initiatives is
to measure risk behaviors, pregnancies,
and use of contraceptives and family
planning services among youth. The
data collection instrument for the
proposed study is a modified version of
a recently approved survey (OMB No.
0970–0360 Expiration date 7/31/2013).
Clearance is being requested to expand
the utilization of a modified version of
the previously-approved instrument.
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 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.
