Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Promising
Youth Programs (PYP).
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP)
grantees provide education to adolescents on both abstinence and
contraception for the prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted
infections, as well as education on additional topics to prepare youth
for adulthood. PREP programs are overseen by the Family and Youth
Services Bureau (FYSB), in the Administration for Children and Families
(ACF), in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The Promising Youth Programs (PYP) project supports PREP
programming in two ways. First, it supports PREP grantees as they
collaborate with independent evaluators to conduct evaluations of their
programs. Second, it is working to develop curricula to address PREP-
related needs for underserved youth. PYP is overseen by ACF's Office of
Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE). To support the PYP project,
FYSB and OPRE seek approval to collect the following information:
(1) Abstract template: We will annually ask grantees and their
independent evaluators to develop/update abstracts about their
evaluations.
(2) CONSORT (CONsolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) diagram
template: We will bi-annually ask grantees and their independent
evaluators for information about study recruitment, enrollment, and
retention.
(3) Baseline equivalence template: We will bi-annually ask grantees
and their independent evaluators for information that demonstrates
whether program and comparison groups are comparable.
[[Page 37098]]
(4) Youth discussions topic guide: We will hold discussions with
youth from target populations about their perceptions of PREP-related
programming.
Respondents: Grantees and their independent evaluators; and youth
from target populations.
