Teen Pregnancy Prevention Replication Study

The Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Replication Study was an experimental study examining the implementation and impacts of three replications of three different evidence-based program models, for a total of nine sites. Initiated in 2010, the study examined whether program models that were commonly chosen by TPP grantees and widely used in the field could achieve impacts with different populations and settings. The evidence-based program models included in the evaluation were: Reducing the Risk, ¡Cuídate!, and Safer Sex. The study was conducted by Abt Associates and managed by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) in partnership with the Office of Population Affairs (OPA).

Key Purpose

To test whether three program models previously shown to be effective in a single study continue to demonstrate effectiveness when implemented with fidelity across different settings and populations. The study is evaluating three replications of three evidence-based program models, for a total of nine grantee sites. 

Study Design

The following documents describe the different aspects of the study followed by baseline site profiles.

Site Profiles

The Baseline Site Profiles provide summaries of the nine participating grantees. They provide a snapshot of program implementation and characteristics from the baseline participant survey. The profiles highlight demographic information, sexual behavior, and other risky behaviors such as smoking, drinking, and marijuana use for study participants at baseline.

Study Findings

There are six reports available for each program model: 1) an implementation report summary; 2) an implementation full report; 3) short-term impact brief; 4) short-term impacts report; 5) longer-term impacts report brief; and 6) longer-term impact report.

¡Cuídate!
