Details:
The primary focus of OASH is leading America to healthier lives, especially for those who have suffered historic disparities. In support of this vision, OPA promotes health across the reproductive lifespan through innovative, evidence-based sexual and reproductive health and family planning programs, services, strategic partnerships, evaluation, and research. The Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) program is a national, evidence-based program that funds diverse organizations working to reach adolescents to improve sexual and reproductive health outcomes and promote positive youth development.
The TPP program supports medically accurate, age-appropriate, and complete programs to reduce unintended teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), behavioral risk factors underlying teen pregnancy, or other associated risk factors (such as, but not limited to, initiation of sexual activity, frequency of sexual activity, number of sexual partners, contraceptive use, substance use, intimate partner violence (IPV)). The TPP program supports numerous rigorous, independent evaluation studies that significantly contribute to the field’s knowledge of where, when, and with whom programs are most effective. To continue expanding the evidence base and addressing the changing needs of youth and communities, the TPP program replicates, refines, develops, tests, and evaluates promising interventions, additional models, and innovative strategies to advance adolescent health, by preventing unintended teen pregnancy and risk factors underlying or associated with teen pregnancy.
The purpose of this initiative is to fund rigorous impact and implementation evaluation of promising interventions for preventing unintended teen pregnancy, STIs, behavioral risk factors underlying teen pregnancy, or other associated risk factors. Through the awards, OPA aims to identify effective interventions for replication by adolescent health practitioners and youth serving professionals, disseminate the research findings and lessons learned to inform future studies, and ultimately expand the knowledge base for TPP programming. This funding will support rigorous evaluations designed to answer important research question(s) about the impact and implementation of TPP interventions.
