Abstract: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, signed into law in March of 2010, established the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) which funds programs designed to educate adolescents on both abstinence and contraception for the prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS, and at least three adulthood preparation subjects. The goal of the PREP Multi-Component Evaluation will be to document how programs funded through the State PREP program are designed and implemented in the field and to assess selected PREP-funded programs' effectiveness. The study will include three primary, interconnected components: (1) a broad descriptive analysis of how States designed and implemented PREP programs, (2) the collection and analysis of performance management data, and (3) impact and in-depth implementation evaluations of four to five specific PREP-funded sites.
