Shape1 TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Training & Technical Assistance 2024 & 2025 Conference Feedback Surveys


PURPOSE AND USE: The purpose of the planned activities is to collect grantee feedback on the 2024 and 2025 Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (APP) annual grantee conferences and to identify additional resources grant recipients 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 designed to capture a range of perspectives and experiences across all seven funding streams and diverse organizations and geographic regions. Information will be used for internal planning processes, including planning for future conferences and development of resources and supports for grant recipients. For example, the contractor (RTI International) will perform analysis of the responses to inform the development of new content and products for The Exchange website, distribution, and promotion of the technical assistance resources available to grant recipients, and future training opportunities.


We will have three different surveys. The Overall Conference survey (Attachment A) will capture the overall conference evaluation along with feedback on the plenary sessions, networking sessions and posters, the Session Specific Surveys (Attachment B) will capture feedback on each individual concurrent session, and the Presenter Survey (Attachment C) will collect feedback from workshop, poster and forum presenters.

  • Overall Conference Survey (Attachment A): The Overall Conference Survey will be web-based (developed in Alchemer, formerly Survey Gizmo) 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 conclusion of 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 through a web-based link (developed in Alchemer, formerly Survey Gizmo) that will be on the last slide (QR code) in session PowerPoint decks and on quarter sheets of paper that will be dispersed in session rooms. The surveys will include multiple choice and open-ended questions and are estimated to take no longer than 5 minutes to complete.

  • Presenter Satisfaction Survey (Attachment C): The presenter satisfaction survey will be sent to all presenters of the conference via email on the last day of the conference. The email will contain a link to access the web-based survey (developed in Alchemer, formerly Survey Gizmo). The survey will include multiple choice and open-ended questions and is estimated to take no longer than 5 minutes to complete.
