    Information Collection Request Title: Teen Pregnancy Prevention 
Tier 1B Design and Implementation Study
    Abstract: For the TPP Tier 1B Design and Implementation Study, we 
will document how each of the 50 grantees funded under this grant 
program are scaling-up efforts to strengthen and expand the reach of 
evidence-based TPP programs in their respective communities. OAH 
anticipates that grantees will employ diverse strategies in working 
within their communities to scale up their initiatives. Because this 
information collection will contribute to the emerging knowledge base 
about community-wide efforts to scale up evidence-based programs 
(EBPs), mobilize community support, and establish linkages to youth-
friendly health services at the community level, it will be important 
to document the variety of grantee approaches and challenges they have 
encountered as a result of local conditions and strategies. To document 
these features and experiences, a lead staff member in each grantee 
organization will be interviewed by phone as well as up to two key 
grantee partners. Partners to be interviewed will be selected based on 
the prominence and variety of their roles within each initiative in 
order to provide multiple perspectives on implementation. To obtain 
more detail on implementation than can be gathered in a telephone 
interview, site visits with up to 15 grantees will be conducted to 
collect data that will illustrate in detail a variety of approaches and 
strategies for scaling up to the community level evidence-based 
approaches to teen pregnancy prevention.
    Likely Respondents: Respondents for telephone interviews will 
include 50 TPP Tier 1B grantee project directors and 100 implementation 
partner project directors. Site visit interview participants will 
include 120 grantee and partner staff members, and 40 Community 
Advisory Group members. Eighty Youth Leadership Council members will be 
recruited to participate in 10 focus groups.
