HHS is interested in identifying and
evaluating approaches to reduce teen pregnancy, associated risk
behaviors, and their consequences. One of the key policy questions
is whether programs that have demonstrated evidence of
effectiveness can be replicated in new settings with positive
impacts. Of the 31 programs on the HHS list of evidence-based
programs, only one program model has been replicated and shown to
have positive effects through a rigorous evaluation. The follow-up
data collection described in this ICR will provide important
information to guide policy decisions aimed at replicating
evidence-based programs.
