IC Title: Feedback on the Topics of Interest for the Provision of technical assistance for Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program Grantees FY2019

Appendix A. TA needs assessment survey

INTRODUCTION AND INSTRUCTIONS

Your input is needed to understand the types of technical assistance you and your team desire. This survey asks questions about your needs related to (1) the process and implementation evaluation or (2) the implementation of your evidence-based program. The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete. We would ask that the program lead and evaluation lead each respond separately. Please submit your completed survey to TPPEvalTA@mathematica-mpr.com by [two weeks from date sent].

Note: Program is defined as the entire program model including any specific curricula, components, and services; Curriculum is the structured content (e.g. a series of lessons) that need to be delivered as part of the broader program model.

PRIVACY

Your responses will be kept private. The information you provide will only be seen by your project officer and the technical assistance team.

Please give your most honest and complete answers so that the technical assistance team can tailor the technical assistance you will receive to the extent possible.

If you have a comment or a question about the survey or would like to clarify or amend an answer in any way, we have included a space at the end of the survey where you can record your additional thoughts or comments.

Thank you for your participation!
