Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Proposed Project:
    Title: Evaluation of Pregnancy Prevention Approaches--Phase 1.
    OMB No.: New collection.
    Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), 
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing a data 
collection activity as part of the Evaluation of Pregnancy Prevention 
Approaches study. This study will assess the effectiveness of a range 
of programs designed to prevent or reduce sexual risk behavior and 
pregnancy among older adolescents. Knowing what types of programs are 
effective will inform programmatic decisions by policymakers and 
practitioners.
    The proposed activity involves the collection of information from 
observations of program activities and interviews with a range of 
knowledgeable experts about various aspects of existing prevention 
programs and topics the experts view as important to address through 
evaluation. These data will be used to help inform decisions about the 
types of programs to be evaluated in the study.
    Respondents: The respondents will be researchers and policy 
experts, program directors, program staff, or school administrators. 
Data will be collected from observations of program activities as well.
