Gathering Feedback to Rebrand National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month

Background: For several years, the Office of Population Affairs (OPA) has observed National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month during each May to call attention to the challenges of teen pregnancy and highlight adolescent sexual and reproductive health. OPA seeks to rebrand and expand the focus of the observance in a way that emphasizes young people’s strengths and potential and supports a broader view of adolescence as a period of promise rather than of risk.

In rebranding and expanding this observance, OPA aims to gather input from those who work closely with young people to find a name that inspires and conveys support for adolescents and adolescent health. This survey presents different names currently under consideration and asks about potential themes that OPA may use during this year’s observance. The survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete.
