Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this request is to
obtain OMB approval to reinstate with
change, the data collection for the
National Youth Risk Behavior Survey
(YRBS), a school-based survey that has
been conducted biennially since 1991.
OMB approval for the 2009 YRBS and
2011 YRBS expired November 30, 2011
(OMB no. 0920–0493). CDC seeks a
three-year approval to conduct the
YRBS in Spring 2013 and Spring 2015.
Minor changes incorporated into this

in which the survey will be conducted
and minor changes to the data collection
instrument.

behaviors related to the major
In Spring 2013 and Spring 2015, the
YRBS will be conducted among
nationally representative samples of
students attending public and private
schools in grades 9–12. Information
supporting the YRBS also will be
collected from state-, district-, and
school-level administrators and
teachers. The table below reports the
number of respondents annualized over
the 3-year project period.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time. The total estimated

Proposed Project
Process and Intermediate Outcome
Evaluation of ‘‘Teenage Pregnancy
Prevention: Integrating Services,
Programs, and Strategies through
Community-Wide Initiatives’’—New—

Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).

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
