Key Findings
- PREP is unfolding on large scale.
- States are strategically selecting program providers.
- States are implementing PREP primarily through the schools.
The Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) was authorized by Congress in 2010 as part of the Affordable Care Act. The program, which is overseen by the Family and Youth Services Bureau, is designed to educate adolescents on both abstinence and contraception for the prevention of pregnancy. The program must also address healthy transition to young adulthood by addressing adulthood preparation subjects that were mandated by Congress. Most of the PREP funding ($55.25 million of $75 million, annually) is designated for formula grants to states and territories.
