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). 

Performance Progress Report/Program 

Narrative 

The CBAE Performance Progress 

Report/Program Narrative is a 

semiannual report form through which 

grantees report performance information 

used by the Administration for Children 

and Families (ACF) to evaluate each 

grantee’s compliance with Federal law 

and progress toward achieving its goals. 

Performance information includes: 

Description of major activities and 

accomplishments during the reporting 

period; 

Description of deviations or departures 

from the original project; 

Description of significant findings and 

events; 

Description of dissemination activities; 

Description of other activities; and 

Description of activities planned for the 

next reporting period, including goals 

and objectives. 

Program-Specific Performance Measure 

The CBAE program is developing 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 is developing 

the measure. CBAE grantees will be 

required to ask ten to fifteen questions 

of the youth served in a pre- and postsurvey, as well as a representative 

sample of the youth served in a postpost survey. 

The questions are being carefully 

constructed by an experienced evaluator 

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 program 

specific performance measure. The data 

will be aggregated and results will be 

shared with the public as they become 

available.
