U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Adolescent Health
This project involves designing new evaluations of teen pregnancy and other risk prevention programs that build on a growing portfolio of research funded under the Office of Adolescent Health’s Teen Pregnancy Prevention program. This second generation of evaluation activities will address a more targeted set of research questions than the studies funded to date by identifying and testing:
- Replications of evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention programs that are commonly used but understudied
- Significant or meaningful adaptations to existing evidence-based approaches
- Selected core components, key activities, and implementation strategies
The project will also pilot several of the designed evaluations.

Teen Pregnancy Prevention: Ensuring Rigorous Program Evaluations
To continue to build the evidence base on teen pregnancy prevention, a federally funded cohort of 2010-2015 Teen Pregnancy Prevention grantees are conducting independent, rigorous evaluations of their programs. Mathematica is providing evaluation technical assistance to ensure design and implementation of high quality evaluations.
