AIM 4 Teen Moms is based on the Theory of Possible Selves, which states that a person’s motivation is determined by a balance of positive and negative ways people see themselves in the future. Individuals who are able to imagine both possible positive and negative futures are more likely to work toward their life goals and achieve future success.

AIM 4 Teen Moms emphasizes control over one’s future, connects present actions and reproductive choices with future achievements, and defines motherhood as an identity strength rather than a stigma. Drawing on the Theory of Possible Selves, Promotion-Prevention Motivational Orientations and youth development principles, AIM 4 Teen Moms identifies and builds on teen mothers’ hopes for their future and elicits their motivations for attaining adulthood goals.

**The program consists of five main content core elements:**
                        - Thinking about a positive possible future  	Through activities, and discussion, youth envision a positive future and set goals to achieve it.
                        - Present actions to achieve future success.  	Youth learn communication skills, how to identify their own strengths as well as needed resources and experience a sense of success through engagement in personal and group activities.
                        - Safeguarding one’s future.  	Youth are encouraged to safeguard their future through risk reduction.
                        - Creating a reproductive life plan.  	The curriculum incorporates knowledge of different methods of contraception and conceptualizes family planning as part of a larger holistic reproductive health agenda. Youth create a personalized reproductive life plans.
                        - Motherhood as an identity strength.  	The program acknowledges motherhood as a driving force that motivates many young mothers to succeed in life.

### Evidence by Outcome Domain and Study

#### Notes

*Some study entries may include more than one citation because each citation examines a different follow-up period from the same study sample, or because each citation examines a different set of outcome measures on the same study sample. A blank cell indicates the study did not examine any outcome measures within the particular outcome domain or the findings for the outcome measures within that domain did not meet the review evidence standards.*

*Information on evidence of effectiveness is available only for studies that received a high or moderate rating. Read the description of the review process for more information on how these programs are identified.*
