Abstract: The Administration for Children and Families' (ACF) Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) requests Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a new information collection for an impact and implementation evaluation of Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) programming , on behalf of the SRAE National Evaluation. As part of the federal government’s ongoing efforts to support youth in making healthy decisions about their relationships and behaviors, in February 2018, Congress updated Title V, Section 510 of the Social Security Act to authorize the SRAE grant program. Administered by the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) within ACF of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), SRAE funds programs that teach adolescents to refrain from nonmarital sexual activity. The programs also provide education on personal responsibility, self-regulation, goal setting, healthy relationships, a focus on the future, and preventing drug and alcohol use. The SRAE legislation requires the conduct of one or more rigorous evaluations of the education provided by SRAE programs. The current data collection request is necessary to conduct impact and implementation evaluations that will build evidence around the effectiveness of SRAE programming.
