Title: Evaluation of Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Approaches--
First Follow-up Data Collection.
OMB No.: ICRAS: 0970-0360.
Description: 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 approaches in up to eight program sites. The findings from
the evaluation will be of interest to the general public, to policy-
makers, and to organizations interested in teen pregnancy prevention.
