OMB No. 0990-NEW--Office of Population Affairs--OASH-OS

Abstract

    The Office of Population Affairs (OPA), U.S. Department of Health 
and Human Services (HHS) is requesting 3 years of approval by OMB on a 
new collection. The Components Study of REAL Essential Curriculum will 
identify the components that matter the most for promoting positive 
health behaviors and outcomes among adolescents. The study will examine 
program components (for example, content and dosage), implementation 
components (for example, attendance and engagement), and contextual 
components (for example, participant characteristics) to determine 
which components influence participant outcomes the most. In addition, 
the study will measure youth engagement in programming from various 
perspectives and examine the role of engagement as a mediating factor 
to achieving youth outcomes. Sites participating in the study will use 
the REAL Essentials Advance (REA) relationship curriculum, a popular 
program among federal pregnancy prevention grantees. The study will 
enroll schools from spring to fall 2022 (and possibly spring 2023, if 
necessary). The study will collect youth outcomes surveys at baseline, 
at program exit and 6 months following the completion of the program. 
The study will also collect extensive implementation data, which 
includes youth engagement exit ticket surveys after REA sessions, focus 
groups with youth and program facilitator logs and attendance records. 
Study staff will also interview facilitators and site leadership.
