Proposed Project

    Process and Intermediate Outcome Evaluation of ``Teenage Pregnancy 
Prevention: Integrating Services, Programs, and Strategies through 
Community-Wide Initiatives''--New--National Center for Chronic Disease 
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC is currently providing funding to nine state and community 
awardees, and five national organizations, to examine innovative, 
evidence-based teenage pregnancy prevention programs. Efforts are 
focused in communities with high rates of teen pregnancy in under-
served African American and Latino youth. Components of these efforts 
include (1) implementing evidence-based or evidence-informed prevention 
programs; (2) linking teens to quality

[[Page 52335]]

health services; (3) educating stakeholders (parents, community 
leaders, and other constituents) about relevant evidence-based or 
evidence-informed strategies to reduce teen pregnancy; and (4) 
supporting the sustainability of the community-wide teen pregnancy 
prevention effort through capacity building and improved coordination 
of services.
    CDC proposes to collect the information needed to conduct a process 
and intermediate outcome evaluation of these efforts. The information 
collection and evaluation plan will systematically document capacity 
building within funded communities and the extent to which communities 
implement multi-component, community-wide initiative activities. 
Respondents for the nine state and community awardees will include the 
project director/coordinator for each site, evaluators, and other 
program staff. In addition, to gain a variety of perspectives, 
information will be requested from multiple community and clinical 
partners associated with each state or community awardee (e.g., program 
implementers and core advisory group members). Information collected 
from these respondents will include needs assessments. Finally, CDC 
will collect information about the training and technical assistance 
needs of state and community awardees, and national organizations, 
which have been funded to support community-wide teen pregnancy 
prevention (TPP) activities.
    The training and technical assistance reporting forms will be 
submitted to CDC electronically through an interactive web-based 
system. The remaining information collection forms will initially be 
fielded in hardcopy, but respondents may submit the completed forms to 
CDC via electronic mail. To allow flexibility based on awardee 
preferences, web-based reporting options may be implemented for all 
forms. Assessment and performance information will be reported to CDC 
annually. Training and technical assistance needs will be reported 
monthly so that CDC can provide immediate, targeted technical 
assistance as needed.
    The assessment information, performance measures and training and 
technical assistance information to be collected are critical to 
understanding (1) the teen pregnancy prevention needs of each target 
community, (2) quality implementation practices associated with 
evidence-based programs and contraceptive access, and (3) the impact of 
implemented strategies.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 1,150.
