Abstract:
The consequences of adolescent sexual activity remain a critical social and economic issue in the United States, shaping the lives of thousands of teens and their families every year. Despite declining births to teen mothers over the past 25 years, the teen birthrate in the United States remains higher than that in other industrialized countries and varies widely across geographic regions and racial/ethnic groups (Martin et al. 2017). Further, adolescents and young adults account for half of all new sexually transmitted infection (STI) cases each year (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2022). Sexual activity in youth is also related to engaging in other risky behaviors such as alcohol and substance use. In March 2010, Congress authorized the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). PREP provides grants to states, tribes and tribal communities, and community organizations to support evidence-based programs to reduce teen pregnancy and STIs. The programs are required to provide education on both abstinence and contraceptive use. The programs also offer information on adulthood preparation subjects such as healthy relationships, adolescent development, financial literacy, parent–child communication, education and employment skills, and healthy life skills. Grantees are encouraged to target their programming to high-risk populations—for example, youth in foster care, homeless youth, youth with HIV/AIDS, pregnant youth who are under age 21, mothers who are under age 21, and youth residing in geographic areas with high teen birth rates. The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Modernization Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-352) requires federal agencies to report annually on measures of program performance. It is essential that PREP grantees report the performance data described in this information collection request to enable the Administration for Children and Families to carry out its reporting requirements to Congress and the Office of Management and Budget. This request seeks to (1) to extend the previously approved data collection of the performance measures from PREP grantees with proposed revisions. Specifically, ACF is requesting approval to eliminate the requirement for grantees to aggregate participant survey data to the program level for submission starting with the 2023-2024 data. Updates made to program-level data collection forms (Instruments 3b and 4b) reflect this request. Grantees will continue to use the currently approved data collection forms (Instruments 3a and 4a) for submission of 2022-2023 data. Additionally, we are requesting a study name change from Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Performance Measures and Adulthood Preparation Subjects Study (PREP PMAPS) to Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Performance Measures, as the data collection for the Adulthood Preparation Subjects Study is complete. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.
