Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Title: Community-Based Abstinence 

Education Performance Progress Report. 

OMB No.: 0970–0272. 

Description: The discretionary 

funding Community-Based Abstinence 

Education Program (CBAE) is 

authorized by Title XI, Section 1110, of 

the Social Security Act (using the 

definitions contained in Title V, Section 

510(b)(2) of the Social Security Act). 

Program-Specific Performance Measure 

The CBAE program developed a 

program-specific performance measure 

in response to the PART review (a 

process by which the Office of 

Management and Budget analyzes and 

rates a Federal program’s procedures 

and strategies for evaluating its 

effectiveness), for which the program 

received a rating of Adequate. In an 

effort to gather program-specific data on 

rates of abstinence pre- and postprogram participation, ACF and the 

Office of Management and Budget 

determined that a program-specific 

performance measure should be 

developed to assess key outcomes 

among program participants. The CBAE 

office convened a panel of abstinence 

education experts to gather input on the 

measure, and, based on the input 

provided, the CBAE office developed 

the measure. CBAE grantees will be 

required to ask twelve questions of the 

youth served in a pre- and post-survey, 

as well as a representative sample of the 

youth served in a follow-up survey. 

The questions were carefully 

constructed by experienced evaluators 

to measure initiation and 

discontinuation of sexual intercourse as 

well as two key predictors of initiation: 

Sexual values and behavioral intentions. 

The program office will collect and 

compile data to establish baselines and 

ambitious targets for the programspecific performance measure. The data 

will be aggregated and results will be 

shared with the public as they become 

available. 

Respondents: Youth Participants.
