pdfThe survey instrument for EngenderHealth divided into three sections:
PART A – FOR ALL YOUTH (this section ends with a question on whether the adolescent has had sex, in
which case the adolescent chooses to continue to either PART B1 or B2)
PART B1 – FOR SEXUALLY-ACTIVE YOUTH
PART B2 – FOR NON-SEXUALLY-ACTIVE YOUTH
SUMMARY OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE BASELINE CONCORDANCE INSTRUMENT AND THE ENGENDER HEALTH BASELINE
SURVEY
Concordance #
Engender Health #
Items are listed in the order in which they appear on the Engender Health baseline instrument. The number for the corresponding baseline
concordance item is listed in the “Concordance #” column. Items in Part A are listed first, followed by items in Section 4, Part B1 (for sexually active
respondents), items in Section 4, Part B2 (for non-sexually active respondents) and items in Sections 5 and 6, Parts B1 and B2 (these sections are
the same for sexually active and non-sexually active respondents). Items found on the concordance instrument that are not on the Engender
Health instrument are listed at the bottom of the table.
Modifications to an existing baseline concordance item are listed in the “Modifications” column; otherwise, the question text on the
Engender Health instrument is the same as that on the baseline concordance instrument.
If an item is specific to the Engender Health instrument, it is indicated by an “N/A” in the “Concordance #” column and the text is noted in
the “Modifications” column.

Dear Parent or Guardian:
Hello! The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is conducting an
important study of ways to reduce teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. The Evaluation
of Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Approaches (PPA) will provide communities like yours with
clear information on program effectiveness. All girls and boys 14-15 years old who participate in
the Travis County Summer Youth Employment Program are being invited to participate. We are
requesting your permission for your child to participate in the study
Half of the youth in the study will be selected at random—like in a lottery or coin flip—to take
part in a program called Gender Matters in addition to their summer employment. This program
teaches about healthy behaviors and how to delay sexual activity, use effective contraception if
sexually active, and avoid pregnancy. If you do not give permission for your child to be in the
study, that has no effect on your child’s eligibility for the Summer Youth Employment Program. If
you do give permission but your child is not selected for Gender Matters, your child can still
participate in the summer employment program.
All participants in the study will be asked to complete three questionnaires over the next two
years. The first survey will be administered in June/July. Researchers from Mathematica Policy
Research, Inc., and Columbia University will survey youth on their attitudes, beliefs, and activities.
The surveys will ask about families and friends, attitudes and knowledge about relationships and
sexual health, specific sexual activity and behavior, and drug and alcohol use. The researchers may
also invite youth who are selected for Gender Matters to participate in a focus group discussion and
to complete additional questionnaires about their experiences in Gender Matters.
All information collected in the study will be kept strictly confidential. If you let your child
participate, the information he/she provides will be combined with information from other youth to
determine the effectiveness of the Gender Matters program. No one will see the answers your child
gives or know whose they were, and your child’s name will not be attached to the answers. A
Certificate of Confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health helps the researchers protect the
study information from being released. The information may be inspected, however, by Institutional
Review Boards at Columbia University or Public/Private Ventures, organizations that are
responsible for protecting participants in studies like this.
Participation in the study is voluntary. The decision you make about whether your child can
participate in the study will have no effect on your child’s eligibility for the Summer Youth
Employment Program. If you agree that your child can participate, you or your child can still stop
participating later, and your child can decide to complete only parts of the surveys. Please let us
know whether or not you will allow your child to be in the study by completing and signing the
attached form and returning it to _______________within a week.
The only risk to your child connected with the study is that he/she may be uncomfortable
answering some survey questions. If that happens, your child can refuse to answer those questions.
If you have questions about the Gender Matters program, please contact Andrew Levack at
513-322-5371. If you have questions about the PPA study or about your child’s participation, please
call Melissa Thomas, toll-free, at Mathematica at 1-888-864-6416 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5
p.m. eastern time, Monday through Friday.
