Background and Brief Description
In 2010, among Western
industrialized nations, the United States
had the highest rate of births among
teens ages 15–19 years. Although the
evidence strongly suggests that teenage
pregnancy is a multifaceted problem
stemming from interrelated internal and
external factors, pregnancy prevention
programs have typically focused on one
factor (e.g., sex education or abstinence

education). Several recent reviews have
emphasized that multi-component
approaches to teen pregnancy
prevention, which are implemented at
the local level, may offer the greatest
potential in teenage pregnancy
prevention. Multi-component
approaches may include a combination
of clinic services, sexuality education
programs, job readiness training,
academic tutoring, mentoring, and life
skills training.
In his budget for Fiscal Year (FY)
2010, President Obama proposed a new
Teenage Pregnancy Prevention (TPP)
Initiative to address the high teen
pregnancy and birth rates by replicating
evidence-based models and testing
innovative strategies. On December 16,
2009, the President signed the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010
(Pub. L. 111–117). Division D Title II of
the Act provides $110,000,000 for
making competitive contracts and grants
to public and private entities to fund
medically accurate and age appropriate
programs that reduce teen pregnancy. It
also includes some of the Federal costs
associated with administering and
evaluating such projects.
As part of this initiative, CDC released
two funding opportunity
announcements (FOAs) related to
innovative evidence-based teenage
pregnancy prevention programs: (1)
DP10–1009, Teenage Pregnancy
Prevention: Integrating Services,
Programs, and Strategies Through
Community-Wide Initiatives and (2)
DP10–1025, Reducing Teen Pregnancy
Through Family Planning: Integrating
Services, Programs, and Strategies
Through Community-Wide Initiatives.
CDC is currently providing funding to
nine state and community awardees,
and five national organizations, to
examine innovative, evidence-based
teenage pregnancy prevention programs.
Efforts are focused in communities with
high rates of teen pregnancy in underserved African American and Latino
youth. Components of these efforts
include (1) implementing evidencebased or evidence-informed prevention
programs; (2) linking teens to quality
health services; (3) educating
stakeholders (parents, community
leaders, and other constituents) about
relevant evidence-based or evidenceinformed strategies to reduce teen
pregnancy; and (4) supporting the
sustainability of the community-wide
teen pregnancy prevention effort
through capacity building and improved
coordination of services.
Upon receiving OMB approval, CDC
proposes to collect the information
needed to conduct a process and

intermediate outcome evaluation of
these efforts for the next three years of
this five year TPP initiative. Using a
repeat cross-sectional design, the
information collection and evaluation
plan will systematically document
capacity building within funded
communities over time and the extent to
which communities implemented multicomponent, community-wide initiative
activities as planned. Respondents for
the nine state and community awardees
will include the project director/
coordinator for each site, evaluators,
and other program staff. In addition, to
gain a variety of perspectives,
information will be requested from
multiple community and clinical
partners associated with each state or
community awardee (e.g., program
implementers and core advisory group
members). Information collected from
these respondents will include needs
assessments and selected costs of
participating in the TPP initiative.
Finally, CDC will collect information
about the training and technical
assistance needs of state and community
awardees, and national organizations,
which have been funded to support
community-wide TPP activities.
Specifically, the following
information will be collected: the needs
of nine project directors/coordinators
will be assessed; the estimated burden
for this yearly assessment is 7 hours.
Fifty state and community awardees
with submit yearly progress towards
meeting performance measures; the
estimated burden for this yearly
assessment is 200 hours. The needs of
fifty staff members will be assessed; the
estimated burden for this yearly
assessment is 38 hours. Training and
technical assistance from 50 state and
community awardees will be assessed;
the estimated burden for this as-needed
assessment is 600 hours. The costs of 50
staff members will be assessed; the
estimated burden for this as needed
assessment is 125 hours. The training
and technical assistance provided by 15
national organization awardee staff
members will be assessed; the estimated
burden for this as needed assessment is
180 hours. The needs of 50 clinical
providers will be assessed; the
estimated burden for this yearly
assessment is 50 hours. The needs of
100 program implementation partners
will be assessed; the estimated burden
for this yearly assessment is 75 hours.
The costs of 150 community of and
clinical partner participants will be

assessed; the estimated burden for this
as needed assessment is 375 hours. The
costs of sponsored activities for 50
community and clinical partners; the
estimated burden for this yearly
assessment is 125 hours.
All information can be reported to
CDC through an interactive web-based
system, ‘‘iGTO,’’ that awardees can use
to manage their general organizational
information and to support and track
the implementation of strategies to
prevent teen pregnancy. Respondents
who prefer not to use the iGTO system
will be able to export the assessment
immediate, targeted technical assistance
as needed. The assessment information,
performance measures and training and
technical assistance information to be
collected are critical to understanding
(1) the teen pregnancy prevention needs
of each target community, (2) quality
implementation practices associated
with evidence-based programs and
contraceptive access, and (3) the impact
of implemented strategies.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.

reports to CDC by electronic mail.
Assessment and performance
information will be reported to CDC
annually. In addition, CDC will collect
information about costs and awardee
needs for training and technical
assistance. To ensure high data quality,
cost information will be submitted as
soon as it becomes available. CDC
estimates that each state or community
awardee will submit 10 cost data reports
per year. Training and technical
assistance needs will be reported
monthly so that CDC can provide

hours. The costs of 50 staff members will be assessed; the estimated
burden for this as needed assessment is 125 hours. The training and
technical assistance provided by 15 national organization awardee staff
members will be assessed; the estimated burden for this as needed

All information can be reported to CDC through an interactive web-
based system, ``iGTO,'' that awardees can use to manage their general
organizational information and to support and track the implementation
of strategies to prevent teen pregnancy. Respondents who prefer not to
use the iGTO system will be able to export the assessment tools,
complete them, and return their reports to CDC by electronic mail.
Assessment and performance information will be reported to CDC
annually. In addition, CDC will collect information about costs and
awardee needs for training and technical assistance. To ensure high

needs will be reported monthly so that CDC can provide immediate,
targeted technical assistance as needed. The assessment information,
performance measures and training and technical assistance information
to be collected are critical to understanding (1) the teen pregnancy
prevention needs of each target community, (2) quality implementation
practices associated with evidence-based programs and contraceptive
access, and (3) the impact of implemented strategies.
OMB approval is requested for three years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
