the Teen Pregnancy Prevention
Initiative. OAH is working
collaboratively with the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation (ASPE), the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
and the Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) on adolescent pregnancy
prevention evaluation activities.
OAH in partnership with ASPE will
be overseeing the Teen Pregnancy
Prevention Replication Evaluation (TPP
Replication Evaluation). The TPP
Replication Evaluation will be an
experimental evaluation which will
determine the extent to which a subset

of evidence-based program models
funded as part of the OAH evidencebased Teen Pregnancy Prevention
Initiative demonstrate effects on
adolescent sexual risk behavior and
teenage pregnancy when they are
replicated in similar and in different
settings and for different populations.
The findings from this evaluation will
be of interest to the general public, to
policy-makers, and to organizations
interested in teen pregnancy prevention.
The implementation study will enable
us to understand the programs,
document their implementation and
context, assess fidelity of

implementation and the factors that
influence it, and describe the
counterfactual, or the ‘‘business as
usual’’ services received by youth in the
control group. This information will
enable us to describe each implemented
program and the treatment-control
contrast evaluated in each site. It will
also help us interpret impact analysis
findings and may help explain any
unexpected findings, differences in
impacts across programs, and
differences in impacts across locations
or population subgroups.

Families (ACF) on adolescent pregnancy
prevention evaluation activities.
The Evaluation of Adolescent
Pregnancy Prevention Approaches
(PPA) is one of these efforts. PPA is a
random assignment evaluation which
will expand available evidence on
effective ways to reduce teen pregnancy.
The evaluation will document and test
a range of pregnancy prevention
approaches in up to eight program sites.
The findings from the evaluation will be
of interest to the general public, to
policy-makers, and to organizations
interested in teen pregnancy prevention.
OAH proposed baseline data
collection activity as part of the PPA
evaluation. A core baseline data
collection instrument was approved on
July 26, 2010. The project has worked in
recent months to secure grantees as
evaluation sites, and as part of this effort
the project has undertaken making
revisions to the baseline instrument
with each site. These revisions were
undertaken because each site has
unique features (e.g. target population;
curriculum; objectives) and the baseline
instruments were tailored to take these
features into account. Emergency
clearance of the site-specific baseline
package was approved August 17, 2011
(ICR Reference No: 201107–0970–003).
OAH is now requesting full clearance to
collect data using site-specific
instruments with a 3-year expiration
date.
