    Information Collection Request Title: Federal Evaluation of Making 
Proud Choices! (MPC!)
    OMB No.: 0990-0452
    Abstract: The Office of Adolescent Health (OAH), U.S. Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS) is requesting approval by OMB on a 
revised data collection. The Federal Evaluation of Making Proud 
Choices! (MPC!) will provide information about program design, 
implementation, and impacts through a rigorous assessment of a highly 
popular teen pregnancy prevention curriculum--MPC. This revision to 
this information collection request includes the follow-up survey 
instrument, administered approximately 9 and 15 months post baseline, 
and related to the impact study. The evaluation will be conducted in 39 
schools nationwide. The data collected from this instrument will 
provide a detailed understanding of program impacts. Clearance is 
requested for three years.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The follow-up survey data 
will be used to determine program effectiveness by comparing sexual 
behavior outcomes, such as postponing sexual activity, and reducing or 
preventing sexual risk behaviors and STDs and intermediate outcomes, 
such as improving exposure, knowledge and attitudes between treatment 
(program) and control youth.
    The findings from these analyses of program impacts will be of 
interest to the general public, to policymakers, and to schools and 
other organizations interested in supporting teen pregnancy prevention.
    Likely Respondents: The follow-up surveys will be administered to 
study participants, who will primarily be in 10th-12th grade at the 
time of the follow-up surveys.
    The total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR are summarized 
in the table below.
