Abstract: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) oversees the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP), which comprises several teen pregnancy prevention programs. All grantees receiving PREP funding must educate youth on both abstinence and contraception. ACF’s Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) administers PREP programs, and ACF’s Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) collaborates with FYSB to conduct PREP research and evaluation efforts. ACF is proposing to collect data related to PREP in two different areas: 1. Local evaluation information. ACF seeks approval to request information from PREP-funded grantees about their grantee-led evaluations, called “local evaluations.” This request will support reviews of analysis plans, monitoring, and ongoing technical assistance. 2. Interviews/focus groups with youth to inform curriculum development. ACF seeks approval to conduct interviews and focus groups with youth to inform the development of curricula to address PREP related needs for underserved populations. This work will involve talking with youth about how they make decisions related to sexual health and their experiences with formal sexual health education programs.
