TITLE
OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention
Training & Technical Assistance 2023 Conference Feedback Surveys
PURPOSE: The purpose of the planned activities is to collect grantee input on the 2023 Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (APP) annual grantee conference and to identify additional resources grantees need to support their work in the community. All aspects of the conference will be evaluated, including plenary, networking, and concurrent sessions. We will also evaluate the conference overall. The surveys are necessary to capture a range of perspectives and experiences across all seven funding streams and diverse organizations and geographic regions. We will have two different surveys. The Overall Conference Evaluation survey (Attachment A) will capture the overall conference evaluation along with feedback on the plenary sessions, networking sessions and posters, and the Session Specific Surveys (Attachment B) will capture feedback on each individual concurrent session.
Overall Conference Evaluation Survey (Attachment A)
The Overall Conference Evaluation Survey will be web-based (developed in Alchemer) and the link will be shared during the closing session of the conference. A link will also be sent to all conference participants within 24 hours after the conference to assess the plenary, networking, poster sessions, and conference overall. The survey will include multiple choice and open-ended questions and is estimated to take no longer than 15 minutes to complete.
Session Specific Surveys (Attachment B)
Surveys will be provided to participants of specific concurrent sessions following the session. The session surveys will be available in paper format and through CVENT, the conference platform and through a web-based link (developed in Alchemer). The session specific surveys will include multiple choice and open-ended questions and are estimated to take no longer than 5 minutes to complete.
The contractor (RTI International) will perform analysis of the responses to inform the development of future conference content and T&TA products for the website, distribution and promotion of the technical assistance resources available to grantees, and future training opportunities.

If you are conducting a focus group, survey, or plan to employ statistical methods, please provide answers to the following questions:
The selection of your targeted respondents
Do you have a customer list or something similar that defines the universe of potential respondents and do you have a sampling plan for selecting from this universe? [ X] Yes [ ] No
If the answer is yes, please provide a description of both below (or attach the sampling plan)? If the answer is no, please provide a description of how you plan to identify your potential group of respondents and how you will select them?
Each conference participant will have to register for the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Grantee Conference through the conference platform. The contractor maintains the registration list. Participants will receive individual session evaluations at the end of each concurrent session. The link to the overall conference evaluation will be provided in the closing plenary session, and we will send an email to the conference participants within 24 hours after the conference reminding them to complete the overall evaluation. Session moderators will be responsible for distributing hard copy evaluations and for sharing the link to the concurrent session evaluation. The number of respondents is based on the estimated total conference attendees.
