Ohio's Learning, Earning, and Parenting (LEAP) Analysis, 1989-1993 (ICPSR 38147)
Released/updated on: 2022-07-28
Geographic coverage: United States, Ohio
Time period: 1989-07-01--1993-07-31
Ohio's statewide Learning, Earning, and Parenting (LEAP) Program began in 1989 to address the problems of teen parents on welfare. Under this program, all teen parents who receive welfare are provided with a substantial financial incentive to attend school. The LEAP evaluation began with the start of the program itself and encompassed 12 Ohio counties, in which the large majority of LEAP teens resided. As part of the study, these teens were randomly assigned, by chance, to one of two groups: a program group, which was subject to the LEAP program, or a control group, which was not. Data were collected on both groups during a four-year follow-up period.

National Survey of Adolescents, 2004: Uganda (ICPSR 22411)
Released/updated on: 2018-07-09
Geographic coverage: Africa, Uganda, Sub-Saharan Africa
Time period: 2004-02-01--2004-07-31
The National Survey Adolescents was launched in 2004 in four Sub-Saharan African countries--Burkina Faso, Ghana, Malawi, and Uganda--to provide detailed information on adolescent risk-taking and health-seeking behavior as related to HIV, STDs and unintended pregnancy. The study examined a range of factors (e.g., behavioral, sociocultural, economic) that could lead to increased vulnerability to risk. The study also encompassed knowledge of means of prevention, sources of trusted information and health care, and impediments to adolescents' abilities to apply their knowledge and take preventive action. The Ugandan portion was administered between February and July 2004. Using a two-stage stratified sample design that selected households from rural and urban clusters, 7,106 households were listed for initial screening. After an initial interview in each household, individual surveys were administered in person to adolescents between the ages of 12 and 19 who were de facto or de jure members of the household. This process collected 6,659 individual interviews with adolescents. Because of the sensitive nature of questions administered in the survey, informed consent forms were obtained from both parents/guardians and the respondents, and in all possible instances interviewers and respondents were paired up by gender.

Cross-Site Evaluation of the Title XX Adolescent Family Life Program in 14 States, 2008-2011 (ICPSR 34398)
Released/updated on: 2015-09-03
Geographic coverage: North Carolina, District of Columbia, United States, California, New York (state), Utah, Pennsylvania, Texas, Massachusetts, Colorado, Connecticut, Missouri, Georgia, Maryland, Arizona
Time period: 2008-06-30--2011-12-31
This data collection consists of six parts and contains data collected from projects funded through Title XX, the Adolescent Family Life (AFL) program. A cross-site evaluation of the AFL program was conducted to describe the implementation of AFL projects and evaluate their impact on key outcomes. Baseline surveys were completed by 2,644 youths in 6 Prevention projects across 6 states and 1,037 adolescents in 12 Care projects across 10 states. A total of 13 states and the District of Columbia were included in the study. Prevention respondents completed a follow-up survey approximately 1 year after baseline. Care respondents who were pregnant at baseline completed follow-up surveys approximately 6 and 12 months after the birth of their child, and Care respondents who were parenting at baseline completed follow-up surveys approximately 1 year after baseline. The goal was to obtain information about demonstration projects to develop, test, and use curricula providing sex education to delay the onset of youth sexual activity and thus reduce the incidence of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. The study sought to answer both process and outcome evaluation questions to determine whether the AFL program had desired effects on adolescents served. Topics covered include adolescent attitutes towards relationships and sexual behavior, birth control, and communication with parents and peers. Demographic variables also include gender, age, and education level.

National Survey of Adolescents, 2004: Burkina Faso (ICPSR 22408)
Released/updated on: 2008-07-24
Geographic coverage: Burkina Faso, Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa
Time period: 2004-04-01--2004-06-30
The National Survey Adolescents was launched in 2004 in four Sub-Saharan African countries--Burkina Faso, Ghana, Malawi, and Uganda--to provide detailed information on adolescent risk-taking and health-seeking behavior as related to HIV, STDs and unintended pregnancy. The study examined a range of factors (e.g., behavioral, sociocultural, economic) that could lead to increased vulnerability to risk. The study also encompassed knowledge of means of prevention, sources of trusted information and health care, and impediments to adolescents' abilities to apply their knowledge and take preventive action. The survey in Burkina Faso was administered between April and June 2004. Using a two-stage stratified sample design that selected households from rural and urban clusters, 5,400 households were listed for initial screening. After an initial interview in each household, individual surveys were administered in person to adolescents between the ages of 12 and 19 who were de facto or de jure members of the household. This process collected 6,489 individual interviews with adolescents. Because of the sensitive nature of questions administered in the survey, informed consent forms were obtained from both parents/guardians and the respondents, and in all possible instances interviewers and respondents were paired by gender.

National Survey of Adolescents, 2004: Ghana (ICPSR 22409)
Released/updated on: 2008-07-24
Geographic coverage: Africa, Ghana, Sub-Saharan Africa
Time period: 2004-01-01--2004-05-31

The study examined a range of factors (e.g., behavioral, sociocultural, and economic) that could lead to increased vulnerability to risk. The study also encompassed knowledge of means of prevention, sources of trusted information and health care, and impediments to adolescents' abilities to apply their knowledge and take preventive action. The Ghanian portion was administered between January and May 2004. Using a two-stage stratified sample design that selected households from rural and urban clusters, 9,445 households were listed for initial screening. After an initial interview in each household, individual surveys were administered in person to adolescents between the ages of 12 and 19 who were de facto or de jure members of the household. This process collected 4,430 individual interviews with adolescents. Because of the sensitive nature of questions administered in the survey, informed consent forms were obtained from both parents/guardians and the respondents, and in all possible instances interviewers and respondents were paired up by gender.

National Survey of Adolescents, 2004: Malawi (ICPSR 22410)
Released/updated on: 2008-07-24
Geographic coverage: Malawi, Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa
Time period: 2004-03-01--2004-08-31
The National Survey Adolescents was launched in 2004 in four Sub-Saharan African countries--Burkina Faso, Ghana, Malawi, and Uganda--to provide detailed information on adolescent risk-taking and health-seeking behavior as related to HIV, STDs and unintended pregnancy. The study examined a range of factors (e.g., behavioral, sociocultural, economic) that could lead to increased vulnerability to risk. The study also encompassed knowledge of means of prevention, sources of trusted information and health care, and impediments to adolescents' abilities to apply their knowledge and take preventive action. The survey in Malawi was administered between March and June 2004 and again in August 2004. Using a two-stage stratified sample design that selected households from rural and urban clusters, 7,750 households were listed for initial screening. After an initial interview in each household, individual surveys were administered in person to adolescents between the ages of 12 and 19 who were de facto or de jure members of the household. However, during the initial data collection period this process collected only 3,448 individual interviews with adolescents. Consequently, in August 2004, researchers extended the surveys to additional clusters excluded during the first round of surveys bringing the total number of individuals to 4,879. Because of the sensitive nature of questions administered in the survey, informed consent forms were obtained from both parents/guardians and the respondents, and in all possible instances interviewers and respondents were paired up by gender.
