Title of the Collection: Federal Evaluation of Making Proud

Type of Collection: Revision.
OMB No.: 0990-0452.
Abstract: The Office of Population Affairs (OPA), U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS) is requesting an extension with
revision of a currently approved information collection (OMB No: 0990-
0452). The purpose of the revision is to complete the nine-month
follow-up data collection for the Federal Evaluation of Making Proud
Choices! (MPC). The evaluation is being conducted in 15 schools across
four school districts nationwide and will provide information about
program design, implementation, and impacts through a rigorous
assessment of a highly popular teen pregnancy prevention curriculum--
MPC. Clearance is requested for three years. This revision is necessary
to complete the 9-month post-baseline follow up data collection after
enrolling a fourth and final cohort into the study. The follow-up
survey data will be used to determine program effectiveness by
comparing sexual behavior outcomes, such as postponing sexual activity,
and reducing or preventing sexual risk behaviors and STDs and
intermediate outcomes, such as improving exposure, knowledge and
attitudes between treatment (program) and control youth. The findings
from these analyses of program impacts will be of interest to the
general public, to policymakers, and to schools and other organizations
interested in supporting a comprehensive approach to teen pregnancy
prevention. The revision request also updates the burden by removing
the second (15 months post baseline) survey from the data collection.
Type of Respondent: The follow-up survey will be administered to
study participants, who will primarily be in 10th-12th grade at the
time of the follow-up survey.
