Proposed Project
Performance Monitoring of ‘‘Working
with Publicly Funded Health Centers to
Reduce Teen Pregnancy among Youth
from Vulnerable Populations’’—New—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
[30Day–16–16MM]
VerDate Sep<11>2014
comments should be received within 30
days of this notice.
In 2014, the US rate of 24.2 births per
1,000 female teens aged 15–19 was the
highest of all Western industrialized
countries. Access to reproductive health
services and the most effective types of
contraception has been shown to reduce
the likelihood that teens become
pregnant. Nevertheless, recent research
and lessons learned through a previous
teen pregnancy prevention project
implemented through CDC in
partnership with the Office of
Adolescent Health (2010–2015; OMB
no. 0920–0952, exp. date 12/31/2015)
demonstrate that many health centers
serving teens do not engage in youthfriendly best practices that may enhance
access to care and to the most effective
types of contraception. Furthermore,
youth at highest risk of experiencing a
teen pregnancy are often not connected
to the reproductive health care that they
need, even when they are part of a
population that is known to be at high
risk for a teen pregnancy. Significant
racial, ethnic and geographic disparities
in teen birth rates persist and continue
to be a focus of public health efforts.
To address these challenges, CDC is
providing funding to three organizations
to strengthen partnerships and
processes that improve reproductive
health services for teens. Mississippi
First, Inc., a non-profit focused on child
well-being and educational
achievement, was funded to work in
Coahoma, Quitman and Tunica counties
in Mississippi. Sexual Health Initiatives
For Teens North Carolina (SHIFT NC),
a non-profit organization focused on the
sexual health of adolescents, was
funded to work in Durham County,
North Carolina. The Georgia Association
for Primary Health Care, Inc, which
represents all of Georgia’s Federally
Qualified Health Centers, was funded to
work in Chatham County, Georgia.
CDC’s awardees will work with
approximately 25 publicly funded
health centers to support
implementation of evidence-based
recommendations for health centers and
providers to improve adolescent access

Frm 00046

to reproductive health services. In
addition, awardees will work with
approximately 35 youth-serving
organizations (YSO) to provide staff
training and develop systematic
approaches to identifying youth who are
at risk for a teen pregnancy and referring
those youth to reproductive health care
services. Finally, awardees will develop
communication campaigns that increase
awareness of the partner health centers’
services for teens. Activities are
expected to result in changes to health
center and YSO partners’ policies, to
staff practices, and to youth health care
seeking and teen pregnancy prevention
behaviors.
The best practices to improve
adolescent access to reproductive health
services included in this program are
supported by evidence in the literature
and recommended by major medical
associations. Each of the components of
the current project has been
implemented as part of past teen
pregnancy prevention efforts. Consistent
with CDC’s mission of using evidence to
improve public health programs,
conducting an evaluation of combined
best practices, in concert with
community-clinical linkage of youth to
services to increase their access to
reproductive health care, can provide
information that will inform future teen
pregnancy prevention efforts. CDC
therefore plans to collect information
needed to assess these efforts.
Information will be collected from the
CDC awardees, the health center and
YSO partner organizations, staff at these
organizations, and the youth served by
the health center partner organizations.
CDC will use the information to
determine the types of training and
technical assistance that are needed, to
monitor whether awardees meet
objectives related to health center and
YSO partners’ policies and staff
practices, to support a data-driven
quality improvement process for
adolescent sexual and reproductive
health care services and referrals, and to
assess whether the project model was
effective in increasing the utilization of
services by youth.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. Participation in the organizational
assessment activities is required for
awardees and partner organizations.
Participation in the Health Center Youth
Survey is voluntary for youth and will
not involve the collection of identifiable
personal information. There are no costs
to respondents other than their time.
The total estimated annualized burden
hours are 1,150.

In 2014, the US rate of 24.2 births per 1,000 female teens aged 15-

reproductive health services and the most effective types of
contraception has been shown to reduce the likelihood that teens become

geographic disparities in teen birth rates persist and continue to be a
focus of public health efforts.
To address these challenges, CDC is providing funding to three
organizations to strengthen partnerships and processes that improve
reproductive health services for teens. Mississippi First, Inc., a non-
profit focused on child well-being and educational achievement, was
funded to work in Coahoma, Quitman and Tunica counties in Mississippi.
Sexual Health Initiatives For Teens North Carolina (SHIFT NC), a non-
profit organization focused on the sexual health of adolescents, was
funded to work in Durham County, North Carolina. The Georgia
Association for Primary Health Care, Inc, which represents all of
Georgia's Federally Qualified Health Centers, was funded to work in
Chatham County, Georgia. CDC's awardees will work with approximately 25
publicly funded health centers to support implementation of evidence-
based recommendations for health centers and providers to improve
adolescent access to reproductive health services. In addition,
awardees will work with approximately 35 youth-serving organizations
