    Proposed Project: The Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) Teen 
Pregnancy Prevention Performance Measure Collection--OMB No. OS-0990-
NEW--Office of Adolescent Health and the Administration for Children 
Youth and Families.
    Abstract: The Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) and the 
Administration for Children, Youth and Families (ACYF), under the U.S. 
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), are funding a total of 
107 grantees to conduct teen pregnancy prevention programs. Grantees 
are funded to either replicate evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention 
programs (75 OAH grantees) or to implement research and demonstration 
programs to test new and innovative approaches to teen

pregnancy prevention (19 OAH grantees and 13 ACYF grantees). Grants are 
funded for 5 years at levels ranging from $400,000 to $4 million per 
year. Interventions for these different programs vary widely in terms 
of duration (from 1 day to 4 years), setting (schools, clinics, or 
community based settings), populations served (middle school students, 
high school students, parents of teens) and content (e.g., youth 
development programs or sex education programs). Funding requirements 
for the grantees included the collection and reporting of data for 
performance measurement. The performance measure collection is 
important to OAH and ACYF because it will provide the agency with data 
both to effectively monitor these programs, and to comply with 
accountability and Federal performance requirements for the 1993 
Government Performance and Results Act (Pub. L. 103-62).
