    Proposed Project: Teen Pregnancy Prevention Replication Evaluation 
Study: Follow-up Data Collection--OMB No. OS-0990-NEW--Office of 
Adolescent Health in collaboration with the Office of the Assistant 
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation.
    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.
    OAH will jointly oversee with ASPE the Teen Pregnancy Prevention 
Replication Evaluation Study (TPP Replication Study). The TPP 
Replication Study will be a random assignment evaluation which will 
determine the extent to which evidence-based program models that have 
been shown to be effective in an earlier trial, demonstrate effects on 
adolescent sexual risk behavior and teenage pregnancy when they are 
replicated in similar and in different settings and for different 
populations.
    OAH and ASPE are proposing follow-up data collection activity as 
part of the TPP Replication Evaluation. Respondents will be asked to 
answer carefully selected questions about risk and protective factors 
related to teen pregnancy, intermediate outcomes, and behavioral 
outcomes. Information from this data collection will be used to perform 
meaningful analysis to determine significant program effects.
