Preventing Intimate Partner Violence Among Teens Who Are Pregnant or Parenting (ICPSR 251161)
Released/updated on: 2026-08-13
Intimate partner violence (IPV) can endanger the health of pregnant and parenting teens and their children, yet few evidence-based IPV prevention programs are tailored for this population. This study adapted the Safe Dates for Young Parents (SDYP) program for virtual delivery to improve attendance and retention. Following adaptation of program activities for synchronous online group sessions, the study conducted a randomized controlled trial with 52 pregnant and parenting teen girls to assess implementation outcomes and preliminary effects on physical and sexual IPV and related abusive behaviors over a 6-month period, compared with a virtual health education control program that did not address IPV.

Components Study of Relationship Education and Leadership Essentials Data, United States, 2022-2023 (ICPSR 39494)
Released/updated on: 2025-11-03
Geographic coverage: West Virginia, Montana, Texas, California, Alabama, Florida, Pennsylvania
Time period: 2022-02-01--2023-08-31
In September 2020, the Office of Population Affairs (OPA) funded an exploratory implementation and outcome study to understand the components of REAL Essentials Advance (REA), a popular relationship education program intended for youth in high school.
The REA study occurred over two school years (2021-22 and 2022-23) and involved 27 schools with a total of 1,301 youth participating in cohorts during spring and fall 2022. Each school implemented a different collection of lessons (a scope and sequence) from the REA program, and a total of 40 different scope and sequences were observed in the study. The expectation was that variation in student experiences of lessons across these scopes and sequences would produce variation in levels of outcome improvement (e.g., a school that primarily offered lessons that focused on emotional regulation would tend to show larger improvement in emotional regulation outcomes than a school that did not offer these lessons).

Evaluating a Cognitive Behavioral Approach for Improving Life Outcomes of Underserved Young Women: A Randomized Experiment in Chicago, Illinois, 2017-2019 (ICPSR 38832)
Released/updated on: 2024-07-15
Geographic coverage: United States, Chicago, Illinois
Time period: 2017-01-01--2019-12-31
This study explored whether a school-based group counseling program for adolescent girls, implemented at scale, can mitigate trauma-related mental health harms. The study was an efficacy trial of a program specifically designed for girls, conducted in the third-largest city in the United States of America during the duration of the study. In a randomized trial involving 3,749 Chicago public high school girls, the researchers found that participating in the program for four months induced a 22% reduction in PTSD symptoms, and that there were significant decreases in anxiety and depression. Results included an estimated cost-utility below $150,000 per Quality Adjusted Life Year. The study found evidence suggesting that effects persist and may increase over time.

Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Multi-Component Evaluation, Impact Study, 4 U.S. states, 2013-2018 (ICPSR 38138)
Released/updated on: 2021-09-27
Geographic coverage: New York City, San Angelo, Iowa, United States, Texas, Kentucky, Davenport, New York (state)
Time period: 2013-05-01--2018-05-31
The Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Multi-Component Evaluation impact study aimed to expand the available evidence on effective approaches to teen pregnancy prevention, especially among high-risk youth. The study conducted independent rigorous impact evaluations in four PREP-funded sites - Iowa, Kentucky, New York, and Texas. Each site implemented a different teen pregnancy prevention program, offered services to a distinct target population, and operated in a different geographic area of the country. The sample enrollment periods, random assignment procedures, data collection schedules, and key outcomes of interest also varied across sites.
The impact study addressed questions about programs' successes in reducing adolescent pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, or associated sexual risk behaviors; pathways or mechanisms through which the programs work, and how program impacts vary by levels of program participation. In each site, the study data collection included a baseline survey conducted at sample enrollment. Three of the sites had two rounds of follow-up surveys that were conducted about one and two years later, and one site had only one follow-up survey, which was conducted about six months after program completion.

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.

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.

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.

The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN) was a large-scale, interdisciplinary study of how families, schools, and neighborhoods affect child and adolescent development. One component of the PHDCN was the Longitudinal Cohort Study, which was a series of coordinated longitudinal studies that followed over 6,000 randomly selected children, adolescents, and young adults, and their primary caregivers over time to examine the changing circumstances of their lives, as well as the personal characteristics, that might lead them toward or away from a variety of antisocial behaviors. Numerous measures were administered to respondents to gauge various aspects of human development, including individual differences, as well as family, peer, and school influences. One such measure was the Relationships protocol. This was a booklet which could be administered by an interviewer or self-administered to subjects in Cohorts 9, 12, 15, and 18. It obtained information about dating, attitudes toward sex and having babies, and experience with sexual intercourse.

Time period: 2000-01-01--2000-12-31
This survey is part of a continuing series designed to monitor trends in a wide range of social attitudes in Great Britain. The British Social Attitudes Survey (BSA) is similar in purpose to the General Social Survey carried out by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) in the United States. The BSA questionnaire has two parts, one administered by an interviewer and the other completed by the respondent. As in the past, the 2000 interview questionnaire contained a number of "core" questions covering the major topic areas of defense, the economy, labor market participation, and the welfare state. The 2000 self-enumerated questionnaire was devoted to a series of questions on a range of social, economic, political, and moral issues. Topics covered are: (1) political attitudes, (2) democracy and political participation, (3) constitutional change, (4) social trust, (5) public spending and welfare, (6) health care, (7) labor market issues, (8) cohabitation and marriage, (9) teenage pregnancies, (10) education, (11) transportation, and (12) genetics. An international initiative funded by the Nuffield Foundation, the International Social Survey Program (ISSP), also contributed a module to the BSA. The topic of the ISSP module in this collection was the environment. Additional demographic data gathered included age, gender, education, occupation, household income, marital status, social class, and religious and political affiliations.

A Potential Case of Social Bankruptcy: States' AFDC Payments and Their Teen Birthrates (ICPSR 1134)
Released/updated on: 1998-01-20
Geographic coverage: United States
These findings were based on a pooled time series analysis that covers a 30-year period at five different time-points: 1960, 1970, 1980, 1985, and 1990. This research examines the relationship between states' Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) payments and teen birthrates. Drawing on rational choice theories, the investigators expected the effects of states' AFDC payments on their teen birthrates to be positive, taking unemployment rates, racial composition, and poverty rates into account. The effects of states' AFDC payments were significant in a negative direction in Model 1, a random effects model. They also were significant in a negative direction in Model 2 when the effects of year were controlled for. However, when the effects of year and state in Model 3 were controlled for, they were not significant. The findings do not support assumptions regarding the incentive effects of welfare that underlie rational choice theories in states where teen birthrates are higher. If anything, teen birthrates are higher in states where AFDC payments are lower. Implications for policy and further research are discussed in relation to the positive effects of states' poverty and population change rates on the state teen birthrate problem.
