Cost Study of Teen Pregnancy Prevention Programs
Implementing Agency Cost Survey

Introduction and Instructions










Please scroll down to read all instructions.

The Cost Study of Evidence-Based Teen Pregnancy Prevention Programs aims to expand the available information on teen pregnancy prevention program costs. The Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Mathematica Policy Research are conducting the cost study. The study will examine how much it costs to implement selected evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention programs and the cost-effectiveness of several of these programs.











What is this survey about?
This survey is for TPP grantee organizations and their selected partner or implementing agencies. It asks questions about the resources required to implement a teen pregnancy prevention program. The survey is designed to gather information on all resources used by the program, including resources that the program does not pay for directly and that may not be reflected in expenditure records (such as the value of volunteer time or donated office space).










How is the survey organized?
The survey is divided into nine sections, labeled A through I. Each section asks questions about a specific type of cost or resource and appears as a separate tab in this Excel workbook. You can access each section by clicking on the tabs at the bottom of this page. You should complete the questions in all sections. Please save this file after completing each section.










What time period is covered?
Please report costs for [REPORTING PERIOD] when completing the survey. If you do not have information for that period available, please report costs during the most recent [PROGRAM CYCLE/FISCAL YEAR] completed prior to August 2014. The survey refers to the [X]-month time frame you select as the "reporting period".










What information or records will I need to complete the survey?
You will need information about agency expenditures and use of resources, such as facilities and equipment. Please use actual expenditure records rather than budgets when gathering information to answer survey questions. Information from budgets does not always represent actual expenditures or resource use.
It may be helpful to review the entire survey before starting it to identify the kinds of information that are required. (To print the entire survey, click Print and select the Entire workbook option under Print what.)










Who in my agency should complete the survey?
A person who is familiar with agency expenditures and accounting records should have primary responsibility for completing the survey. This person may need to consult with other people in the agency to gather information required to address some questions.

How do I navigate through the survey?
Each section of the survey appears on a separate tab in this workbook. Click on the tabs below to view and complete each section of the survey. In each section, enter information or select answers in fields with the labels "Click here and start typing" or "Click here and select from list". You can use the tab key or mouse button to move between answer fields. (Areas outside the answer fields are locked to prevent changes.) Please save your work frequently to ensure your answers are recorded.

What should we do when we have completed the survey?
Please complete the survey within three weeks after receiving it. When you have completed the survey, please save the file, encrypt it according to the instructions provided, and email it to the address provided.

How will survey data be used?
Information gathered through this survey will be secure to the extent permitted by law. Only members of the research team will have access to survey responses. The study team will generate aggregate estimates of the overall program costs to each grantee, the costs of different program activities and components, and costs per program participant. For grantees conducting program impact evaluations, the team will also compare these cost estimates to the measured program impacts on youth outcomes. The aggregate findings will be presented in peer-reviewed journal articles and reports.

Thank you for your participation in this important study. If you have questions about how to complete the survey, please contact the Mathematica staff member who sent you the survey. If you have questions about the study purpose or methods, please contact Brian Goesling at [email protected].

This survey was prepared by Mathematica Policy Research with support from the Office of Adolescent Health. Some elements are adapted from: French, Michael T. Drug Abuse Treatment Cost Analysis Program (Program Version). Sixth Edition. Coral Gables, FL: University of Miami, 1998.

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0990-xxxx . The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 8 hours per response, including the time to review instructions, search existing data resources, gather the data needed, and complete and review the information collection. If you have comments concerning the accuracy of the time estimate(s) or suggestions for improving this form, please write to: U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, OS/OCIO/PRA, 200 Independence Ave., S.W., Suite 336-E, Washington D.C. 20201, Attention: PRA Reports Clearance Officer

Indirect costs (sometimes called "overhead") are costs for shared agency functions, such as accounting, human resources, and marketing. These functions may benefit multiple programs or departments.
