    Proposed Project: The Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) Pregnancy 
Prevention Approaches Evaluation Baseline Data Collection-Transferring 
from ACF OMB No. 0970-0360 to OS OMB No. OS-0990-NEW.
    Abstract: The Office of Adolescent Health (OAH), Office of the 
Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), U.S. Department of Health and 
Human Services (HHS), is overseeing and coordinating adolescent 
pregnancy prevention evaluation efforts as part of the Teen Pregnancy 
Prevention Initiative. OAH is working collaboratively with the Office 
of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE), the 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the 
Administration for Children and Families (ACF) on adolescent pregnancy 
prevention evaluation activities.
    The Evaluation of Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Approaches (PPA) 
is one of these efforts. PPA is a random assignment evaluation which 
will expand available evidence on effective ways to reduce teen 
pregnancy. The evaluation will document and test a range of pregnancy 
prevention approaches in up to eight program sites. The findings from 
the evaluation will be of interest to the general public, to policy-
makers, and to organizations interested in teen pregnancy prevention.
    OAH proposed baseline data collection activity as part of the PPA 
evaluation. A core baseline data collection instrument was approved on 
July 26, 2010. The project has worked in recent months to secure 
grantees as evaluation sites, and as part of this effort the project 
has undertaken making revisions to the baseline instrument with each 
site. These revisions were undertaken because each site has unique 
features (e.g. target population;

curriculum; objectives) and the baseline instruments were tailored to 
take these features into account. Emergency clearance of the site-
specific baseline package was approved August 17, 2011 (ICR Reference 
No: 201107-0970-003).
