    Title of the Collection: Federal Evaluation of Making Proud 
Choices! (MPC!).
    Type of Collection: Revision.
    OMB No. 0990-0452.
    Abstract: The Office of Population Affairs (OPA), U.S. Department 
of Health and Human Services (HHS) is requesting an extension with 
revision of a currently approved information collection (OMB No: 0990-
0452). The purpose of the revision is to complete the nine-month 
follow-up data collection for the Federal Evaluation of Making Proud 
Choices! (MPC). The evaluation is being conducted in 15 schools across 
four school districts nationwide and will provide information about 
program design, implementation, and impacts through a rigorous 
assessment of a highly popular teen pregnancy prevention curriculum--
MPC. Clearance is requested for three years. This revision is necessary 
to complete the 9-month post-baseline follow up data collection after 
enrolling a fourth and final cohort into the study. The follow-up 
survey data will be used to determine program effectiveness by 
comparing sexual behavior outcomes, such as postponing sexual activity, 
and reducing or preventing sexual risk behaviors and STDs and 
intermediate outcomes, such as improving exposure, knowledge and 
attitudes between treatment (program) and control youth. The findings 
from these analyses of program impacts will be of interest to the 
general public, to policymakers, and to schools and other organizations 
interested in supporting a comprehensive approach to teen pregnancy 
prevention. The revision request also updates the burden by removing 
the second (15 months post baseline) survey from the data collection.
