Cross-site Study Data for Improving Implementation Evaluation among Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Grantees to inform National Implementations (IMAGIN)

The IMAGIN Cross-Site Study will examine the process that federal Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) grantees follow to get their programs and staff ready for full implementation of programs by exploring specific factors related to the program models’ readiness for implementation and evaluation, the grantee organizations’ capacity to operate and deliver the program as intended, and the local enabling context. The Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) will use data obtained from this study to identify meaningful lessons, targeted resources, and timely guidance that could help both current and future federal grantees get their programs ready to implement, and add to the evidence on the successes and challenges of implementing a teen pregnancy prevention program. The cross-site study will include up to 44 grantees receiving TPP Tier 1 and Tier 2 grants, in two cohorts: currently, OAH has funded 14 TPP18 Tier 2 grantees. By this fall, up to 30 TPP19 Tier 1 grantees are expected to receive funding, bringing the total number of grantee organizations in this study to 44. Key informant interviews with grantee leadership, community stakeholders, and key staff will be conducted, as well as a web-based survey of grantee frontline staff. OAH is requesting three years of clearance for the IMAGIN cross-site study. The analyses, when complete, will be the basis of a final implementation report that will focus on key findings about the factors that helped or hindered the process of implementation readiness in different contexts, along with actionable lessons and concrete takeaways for grantees, researchers, and funders. Aside from the specific products drawing on the cross-site study, these analyses will also play a critical role in developing targeted tools, resources, and practitioner-focused guides or briefs related to implementation readiness.
