Project Description

The funding of these adolescent pregnancy prevention grantees allows states to replicate evidence-based effective program models or incorporate elements of effective programs to delay sexual activity, increase condom and/or contraceptive use for sexually active youths, and reduce pregnancy rates among youths, especially youth populations at the highest risk or vulnerable for pregnancies. In an effort to support FYSB, RTI International provides grantees with the following supportive services: (1) Training and resources to enhance service quality, ensure fidelity of program implementation and appropriateness of adaptations of evidence-based models, and enhance grantee skill sets to reduce teen pregnancy; (2) Knowledge and technical assistance on the latest developments in teen pregnancy prevention and related fields to increase competency in providing programmatic oversight of the grants; (3) Technical assistance provided individually and in small groups; (4) Monitoring of grantees' programmatic performance; and (5) Annual teen pregnancy prevention conference planning.
