    Abstract: The Office of Adolescent Health (OAH), U.S. Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS) is requesting an extension without 
change of a currently approved information collection request by OMB.

promising approaches to teen pregnancy prevention.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The PPA study is being 
conducted in seven program sites around the country. The proposed 
extension is necessary to complete ongoing follow-up data collection in 
five of the seven study sites. The resulting data will be used in a 
rigorous program impact analysis to assess the effectiveness of each 
program in reducing rates of teen pregnancy and associated sexual risk 
behaviors.
    Likely Respondents: The 1484 youth participants who agreed to 
participate in the study upon sample enrollment in 5 impact study 
sites.
