    Information Collection Request Title: Teen Pregnancy Prevention Tier 1B Design and Implementation Study

    Abstract: For the TPP Tier 1B Design and Implementation Study, we will document how each of the 50 grantees funded under this grant program are scaling-up efforts to strengthen and expand the reach of evidence-based TPP programs in their respective communities. OAH anticipates that grantees will employ diverse strategies in working within their communities to scale up their initiatives. Because this information collection will contribute to the emerging knowledge base about community-wide efforts to scale up evidence-based programs (EBPs), mobilize community support, and establish linkages to youth-friendly health services at the community level, it will be important to document the variety of grantee approaches and challenges they have encountered as a result of local conditions and strategies. To document these features and experiences, a lead staff member in each grantee organization will be interviewed by phone as well as up to two key grantee partners. Partners to be interviewed will be selected based on the prominence and variety of their roles within each initiative in order to provide multiple perspectives on implementation. To obtain more detail on implementation than can be gathered in a telephone interview, site visits with up to 15 grantees will be conducted to collect data that will illustrate in detail a variety of approaches and strategies for scaling up to the community level evidence-based approaches to teen pregnancy prevention.

    Likely Respondents: Respondents for telephone interviews will include 50 TPP Tier 1B grantee project directors and 100 implementation partner project directors. Site visit interview participants will include 120 grantee and partner staff members, and 40 Community Advisory Group members. Eighty Youth Leadership Council members will be recruited to participate in 10 focus groups.
