Grant recipients funded by the Office of Adolescent Health (OAH), now merged with the Office of Population Affairs (OPA), conducted rigorous program evaluations as part of the Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) program.
Key Purpose
To rigorously evaluate the FY 2010-2014 TPP grant recipient cohort: "Replications of evidence-based programs to prevent teen pregnancy and/or associated sexual risk behaviors" (Tier 1) and "New and innovative programs to prevent teen pregnancy" (Tier 2).
Study Design
Study designs included random assignment and high-quality quasi-experimental evaluations. Evaluation technical support was provided to grant recipients to ensure rigorous methods and reporting.
Study Findings
Available grant recipient evaluation reports are posted on this page. Beyond the individual reports below, you can read summaries of the results for the TPP Tier 1 and TPP Tier 2 programs. You also can learn more about the other evaluations that were conducted on some of the TPP programs. Some reports are featured in a themed supplement of the American Journal of Public Health, released in the fall of 2016. For more information, read the summary of programs that were found effective at changing behaviors.
