(YUP!) intervention relative to the control condition on use of effective non-barrier contraception and frequency of vaginal sex without condoms three months after the intervention period has concluded.
Under contract to the Office of Population Affairs (OPA), Mathematica is conducting an impact study of the Making Proud Choices! (MPC) teen pregnancy prevention program. The impact study is designed to estimate the impact of MPC, compared to the business-as-usual condition, on risk and protective factors, sexual behaviors, and longer term health goals including pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.

An evaluation of a promising Teen Pregnancy Prevention Curriculum, Big Decisions, in ninth grade students in three high schools in South Texas.
To test a new curriculum designed by Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest and Hawaiian Islands (PPGNHI). The Linking Families and teens (LiFT) curriculum is an innovative program designed for families in rural communities, with the goal of reducing unplanned teen pregnancies by increasing family connectedness and increasing youth's self-efficacy, knowledge, and skills related to sexual health.
Under contract to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Mathematica is conducting an impact study of California Department of Public Health, Center for Family Health, Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health's (MCAH) Adolescent Family Life Program Positive Youth Development (PYD) program for a Federal Evaluation of Programs for Expectant and Parenting Youth (PEPY). The impact study will be designed to address the impact of PYD, compared to the business-as-usual condition, AFLP, in delaying repeat pregnancies, completing high school, improving health of the parent and child, and improving linkages and networks of support for expectant and parenting teens.
The S.P.A.R.K (Speaking to the Potential, Ability, and Resilience inside Kids) Teen Pregnancy Prevention and Mentoring program is being administered to youth (ages 11-17) living in out-of-home foster care in Duval County, Florida. Children's Home Society of Florida in Jacksonville received grant funding for the implementation and evaluation of the S.P.A.R.K program. The University of South Florida is examining the effects of intervention on reducing youth involvement in risky sexual behavior and incidents of teen pregnancy.
This study uses a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design to evaluate the impacts of the Future Foundation (FF) 2.0 Personal Responsibility Education Innovative Strategies (PREIS) program on reducing students' sexual activity (vaginal), recent risking sexual activity without condom use, and unprotected sex (no condoms/contraceptives). FF will implement the 2.0 PREIS Program with three cohorts of African-American youth in the 6th to 8th grades. FF aims to recruit and enroll 400 students who are new to the program for Cohort 1, 150 new students for Cohort 2, and another 150 new students for Cohort 3. These cohorts of eligible students will come from grades 6-8 in Woodland and McNair middle schools and projected to attend Banneker high school. Random assignment will be an ongoing process throughout the project enrollment periods. By the end of the recruitment processes, a total of 700 students will be randomly assigned to either the treatment or the control group, resulting in 350 students in each condition. Each year, the FF 2.0 PREIS intervention model will offer year-round grant-funded services, including after-school, summer programming, and parent engagement activities. The 350 youth randomly assigned to the treatment group will be offered the FF 2.0 PREIS program (Cohort 1 will target 200 treatment youth from January 2018 through June 2018; Cohort 2 will target 75 treatment youth from August 2018 through May 2019; and Cohort 3 will serve 75 treatment youth from August 2019 through May 2020.), while the 350 students assigned to the control group may receive after school and/or summer programming from another community-based organization. The primary hypotheses for the RCT study are the following: significantly fewer numbers of students in the FF 2.0 PREIS intervention engage in vaginal sex than their control group peers do by the time of the end of the program and also at the six-month follow-up; significantly fewer numbers of students in the FF 2.0 PREIS intervention engage in recent unprotected sex significantly than the control group students do at the end of the program and also at the six-month follow-up; and significantly greater numbers of participants in the FF 2.0 PREIS intervention remain abstinent or report condom use during recent vaginal sexual activity than the control group students do at the end of the program and also at the six-month follow-up.
Under contract to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Mathematica Policy Research is conducting an impact study of Healthy Families Healthy Futures in Houston, Texas for a Federal Evaluation of Programs for Expectant and Parenting Youth (PEPY). The impact study will be designed to address three main questions: - Was the program successful in exposing participants to program content, such as information about methods of birth control? - Was the program successful at improving short-term outcomes, such as use of a LARC and intention to space births? - To what extent did treatment youth receive the intended program components?
The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of the offer to participate in the e-Practice Self-Regulation (e-PS-R) (treatment) relative to the control condition on increasing knowledge of sexual health and the impact of trauma on sexual decision-making and preventing teen pregnancy and high-risk behaviors 12 months after enrollment.
