Proposed Project
Evaluation of ‘‘Effectiveness of Teen
Pregnancy Prevention Programs
Designed Specifically for Young Males:
Columbia University Young Men’s
Project’’—New—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Division of Reproductive Health,
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), is seeking OMB
review and approval for a new
information collection to carry out an
evaluation of the Columbia University
Young Men’s Teen Pregnancy
Prevention project funded by the
‘‘DP15–007 Effectiveness of Teen
Pregnancy Prevention Programs
Designed Specifically for Young Males’’
cooperative agreement. Approval is
being requested for three years (Years 2–
4) of a 5-year project. During Year 3, a
request will be made for an extension of
information collection to cover Years 4–
5.
Although teen birth rates (defined as
live births per 1,000 15–19-year-old U.S.
females) are declining, the U.S. teen
birth rate remains higher than in other
developed countries (Penman-Aguilar,
Carter, Snead, & Kourtis, 2013).
Furthermore, geographic,
socioeconomic, and racial/ethnic
disparities in teen birth rates persist. In
2012, non-Hispanic black and Hispanic
teen birth rates were still more than two
times higher than birth rates for nonHispanic white teens (Martin, Hamilton,
Osterman, Curtin, & Mathews, 2013).
In 2014 teen fatherhood occurred at a
rate of 11.3 births per 1,000 men aged
15–19 (Hamilton, Martin, Osterman,
Curtin, & Mathews, 2015) and resulted
in approximately 156,000 births.
According to the 2006–2010 National
Survey of Family Growth, 15% of males
fathered a child while younger than age
20 and rates of fathering a child were
highest among non-Hispanic Black and
Hispanic teens (Martinez, Daniels, &
Chandra, 2012). Data suggest that teen
fathers attend fewer years of school and
are less likely to graduate from high
school than teens who are not fathers
(Fletcher & Wolfe, 2012). In addition,
males just beyond their teen years (aged
20–24) father a higher proportion of
children born to teen mothers than
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
males aged 19 and younger (Elo, King,
& Furstenburg, 1999; Males, 1995).
Thus, it is important to reach both
teenage as well as young adult males in
their early twenties (hereafter
collectively referred to as ‘‘young men’’)
in teen pregnancy prevention efforts.
Initiatives to prevent teen pregnancy
have focused primarily on the role of
female teens; however, young men can
also play an important role and should
be actively engaged in preventing teen
pregnancy. Partner involvement in
contraceptive decision making can
increase use of effective methods of
pregnancy prevention, including the use
of dual protection (i.e., using condoms
plus hormonal methods to prevent both
pregnancy and sexually transmitted
infections [STIs]) (Kerns 2003, Harper
2004, Kraft 2010, Cox and Cox 2010).
Increased use of effective contraception
may be based on improved
contraception-related communication,
joint responsibility and decision making
between partners, as well as male
partners’ knowledge and attitudes about
contraceptive methods (including
condoms), support for use of moderately
or highly effective methods, and desire
for pregnancy prevention. Nevertheless,
few interventions have focused on
young men or been shown to be
effective in reducing teen pregnancy.
The HHS Teen Pregnancy Prevention
Evidence Review, (https://tppevidence
review.aspe.hhs.gov/Review
Protocol.aspx) conducted in 2012 by
Mathematica Policy Research on behalf
of the HHS (U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services, 2012) and updated
in 2014 identified 35 rigorously
evaluated interventions found to have
an impact on sexual risk behaviors, teen
pregnancy, and/or STIs. Most
interventions were evaluated among
young male and female participants;
only one intervention was designed and
evaluated specifically for males
(Magura, Kang, & Shapiro 1994). Most of
the 35 interventions were designed as
HIV/STI prevention interventions and
provide participants with information
about condoms but little about other
contraceptive options. They also do not
address the shared responsibility of
contraceptive decision making or sexual
and reproductive health services.
While programs that address malespecific risk and protective factors for
teen pregnancy (e.g., Gottesgen &

Fonseca & Segundo, 2010; Smith,
Weinman, Buzi, & Benton, 2004; Tello,
Cervantes, Cordova, & Santos, 2010)
have been developed, there are no
published results from rigorous
evaluations of these interventions. If
found to be efficacious, this study will
add a male-focused program to the
evidence review. This information
collection request aims to address this
gap in the literature through a
randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a
computer-assisted motivational
interviewing application for mobile
phones to prevent fathering an
unintended pregnancy (CAMI–TPP) by
males aged 15 to 24 years in comparison
to a control group (CAMI-Fitness).
CAMI will be conducted in a racially
and ethnically diverse population of
young males aged 15 to 24 years in New
York City, NY. Young males will be
recruited at 3 sites in New York City:
The Young Men’s Clinic in Washington
Heights and among students at the
school-based health centers of two
inner-city NYC high schools—George
Washington Educational Campus in
Washington Heights and John F.
Kennedy campus in the Bronx.
Participants will be assessed at baseline,
immediately post-intervention (12
weeks), and at three follow-ups (24
weeks, 36 weeks, and 60 weeks) after
participation in the 12-week
intervention. Participants will also
complete weekly online check-ins for 60
weeks from the time of enrollment in
the project. Weekly check-ins have been
used in past studies to increase
retention during the study period and
are very brief.
The knowledge generated from this
project will inform the HHS Teen
Pregnancy Prevention Evidence Review.
If the intervention is found to be
efficacious, it will provide Teen
Pregnancy Prevention grantees of the
Office of Adolescent Health, CDC, and
Administration for Children and
Families with a new intervention to
reduce the number of young men who
father a teen pregnancy.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. Participation is voluntary and
there are no costs to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 2,598.

Proposed Project
Evaluation of ``Effectiveness of Teen Pregnancy Prevention Programs
Designed Specifically for Young Males: Columbia University Young Men's
Project''--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Division of Reproductive Health, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), is seeking OMB review and approval for a new
information collection to carry out an evaluation of the Columbia
University Young Men's Teen Pregnancy Prevention project funded by the
``DP15-007 Effectiveness of Teen Pregnancy Prevention Programs Designed
Specifically for Young Males'' cooperative agreement. Approval is being
requested for three years (Years 2-4) of a 5-year project. During Year
3, a request will be made for an extension of information collection to
cover Years 4-5.
Although teen birth rates (defined as live births per 1,000 15-19-
year-old U.S. females) are declining, the U.S. teen birth rate remains
higher than in other developed countries (Penman-Aguilar, Carter,
Snead, & Kourtis, 2013). Furthermore, geographic, socioeconomic, and
racial/ethnic disparities in teen birth rates persist. In 2012, non-
Hispanic black and Hispanic teen birth rates were still more than two
times higher than birth rates for non-Hispanic white teens (Martin,
Hamilton, Osterman, Curtin, & Mathews, 2013).
In 2014 teen fatherhood occurred at a rate of 11.3 births per 1,000
men aged 15-19 (Hamilton, Martin, Osterman, Curtin, & Mathews, 2015)
and resulted in approximately 156,000 births. According to the 2006-
2010 National Survey of Family Growth, 15% of males fathered a child
while younger than age 20 and rates of fathering a child were highest
among non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic teens (Martinez, Daniels, &
Chandra, 2012). Data suggest that teen fathers attend fewer years of
school and are less likely to graduate from high school than teens who
are not fathers (Fletcher & Wolfe, 2012). In addition, males just
beyond their teen years (aged 20-24) father a higher proportion of
children born to teen mothers than males aged 19 and younger (Elo,
King, & Furstenburg, 1999; Males, 1995). Thus, it is important to reach
both teenage as well as young adult males in their early twenties
(hereafter collectively referred to as ``young men'') in teen pregnancy
prevention efforts.
Initiatives to prevent teen pregnancy have focused primarily on the
role of female teens; however, young men can also play an important
role and should be actively engaged in preventing teen pregnancy.
Partner involvement in contraceptive decision making can increase use
of effective methods of pregnancy prevention, including the use of dual
protection (i.e., using condoms plus hormonal methods to prevent both
pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections [STIs]) (Kerns 2003,
Harper 2004, Kraft 2010, Cox and Cox 2010). Increased use of effective
contraception may be based on improved contraception-related
communication, joint responsibility and decision making between
partners, as well as male partners' knowledge and attitudes about
contraceptive methods (including condoms), support for use of
moderately or highly effective methods, and desire for pregnancy
prevention. Nevertheless, few interventions have focused on young men
or been shown to be effective in reducing teen pregnancy. The HHS Teen
Pregnancy Prevention Evidence Review, (https://tppevidencereview.aspe.hhs.gov/ReviewProtocol.aspx) conducted in 2012
by Mathematica Policy Research on behalf of the HHS (U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, 2012) and updated in 2014 identified 35
rigorously evaluated interventions found to have an impact on sexual
risk behaviors, teen pregnancy, and/or STIs. Most interventions were
evaluated among young male and female participants; only one
intervention was designed and evaluated specifically for males (Magura,
Kang, & Shapiro 1994). Most of the 35 interventions were designed as
HIV/STI prevention interventions and provide participants with
information about condoms but little about other contraceptive options.
They also do not address the shared responsibility of contraceptive
decision making or sexual and reproductive health services.
While programs that address male-specific risk and protective
factors for teen pregnancy (e.g., Gottesgen & Philiber, 2001; Ricardo,
Nascimento, Fonseca & Segundo, 2010; Smith, Weinman, Buzi, & Benton,
2004; Tello, Cervantes, Cordova, & Santos, 2010) have been developed,
there are no published results from rigorous evaluations of these
interventions. If found to be efficacious, this study will add a male-
focused program to the evidence review. This information collection
request aims to address this gap in the literature through a randomized
controlled trial (RCT) of a computer-assisted motivational interviewing
application for mobile phones to prevent fathering an unintended
pregnancy (CAMI-TPP) by males aged 15 to 24 years in comparison to a
control group (CAMI-Fitness).
CAMI will be conducted in a racially and ethnically diverse
population of young males aged 15 to 24 years in New York City, NY.
Young males will be recruited at 3 sites in New York City: The Young
Men's Clinic in Washington Heights and among students at the school-
based health centers of two inner-city NYC high schools--George
Washington Educational Campus in Washington Heights and John F. Kennedy
campus in the Bronx. Participants will be assessed at baseline,
immediately post-intervention (12 weeks), and at three follow-ups (24
weeks, 36 weeks, and 60 weeks) after participation in the 12-week
intervention. Participants will also complete weekly online check-ins
for 60 weeks from the time of enrollment in the project. Weekly check-
ins have been used in past studies to increase retention during the
study period and are very brief.
The knowledge generated from this project will inform the HHS Teen
Pregnancy Prevention Evidence Review. If the intervention is found to
be efficacious, it will provide Teen Pregnancy Prevention grantees of
the Office of Adolescent Health, CDC, and Administration for Children
and Families with a new intervention to reduce the number of young men
who father a teen pregnancy.
OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation is
voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other than their time.
The total estimated annualized burden hours are 2,598.
