This data collection effort will use seven data collection instruments. The purposes of the data collection activities are to: 1) determine whether Project CHOICES interventions were provided (and to document the details of the intervention as they are integrated), and 2) assess the extent to which women achieved the desired outcomes (abstinence from alcohol use and consistent and correct use of contraceptive methods). In order to assess these broad goals, specific outcome and process questions have been devised.
