[Federal Register Volume 81, Number 202 (Wednesday, October 19, 2016)] [Notices] [Page 72056] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2016-25231] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Administration for Children and Families Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request Title: Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP); Promising Youth Programs (PYP). OMB No.: New Collection. Description: The Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) grants provide education to adolescents on both abstinence and contraception for the prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS, as well as education on additional topics to prepare youth for adulthood. PREP programs are overseen by the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB), in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The Promising Youth Programs (PYP) project supports PREP programming in two ways. First, it supports grantees as they collaborate with independent evaluators to conduct evaluations of their programs. Second, it is working to develop curricula for underserved youth. PYP is overseen by ACF's Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE). To support the PYP project, FYSB and OPRE seek approval to collect the following information: (1) Abstract template: We will annually ask grantees and their independent evaluators to develop/update abstracts about their programs/evaluations. (2) CONSORT (CONsolidated Standards Of Reporting Trials) diagram template: We will bi-annually ask grantees and their independent evaluators for information about study recruitment, enrollment, and retention. (3) Baseline equivalence template: We will bi-annually ask grantees and their independent evaluators for information that demonstrates whether program and comparison groups are comparable. (4) Implementation analysis plan template: In Year 2 of their grants we will ask grantees and their independent evaluators for information that outlines their implementation analysis plans. (5) Youth discussions topic guide: We will hold discussions with youth from target populations about their perceptions of PREP-related programming. Respondents: We will ask grantees and their independent evaluators for information related to (1), (2), (3), and (4). We will ask youth from target populations for information related to (5).
