Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents final impact findings from a large-scale demonstration project and evaluation of the Teen Prevention Education Program (Teen PEP), an in-school, peer-to-peer sexual health promotion program that aims to reduce sexual risk behaviors and associated outcomes among high school students. Although teen pregnancy rates in the United States have decreased over the past 25 years (Martin et al. 2015), teenage pregnancy remains a serious concern. Teen parenting is linked to negative outcomes for both teen parents and their children. Teen mothers are less likely to graduate high school, have lower earnings, receive public assistance for longer periods, and are more likely to be single parents (Hoffman 2008; Perper et al. 2010). Children of teen mothers have worse educational, criminal, and health outcomes as well (Hoffman 2008). Furthermore, teen pregnancy is associated with high costs to the general public; in 2010, teen pregnancy and childbirth in the United States cost taxpayers more than $9.4 billion (National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy 2013). Teen PEP, developed and implemented by the Center for Supportive Schools (CSS) and HiTops, Inc., seeks to reduce rates of teen pregnancy and associated sexual risk behaviors through a combination of school-based, peer-led interactive workshops and school-wide initiatives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This publication is designed to provide background for hearings of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources on the general subject of adolescent pregnancy prevention. Research findings that have relevance for policy makers and administrators who are concerned about teenage pregnancy are summarized. Major program and solution strategies (sexuality education programs, contraception interventions, school based clinics, and the values based adolescent family life programs), their basic assumptions, and evidence of their effectiveness are discussed. The conclusion emphasizes the continuing failure of the major interventions, the need for broader based approaches that address more specifically the dynamics of the problem, and the potential of the value based programs. Comments by the staff of the committee majority on the report are included.

Book excerpt: More than 1 million teenage girls in the United States become pregnant each year; nearly half give birth. Why do these young people, who are hardly more than children themselves, become parents? This volume reviews in detail the trends in and consequences of teenage sexual behavior and offers thoughtful insights on the issues of sexual initiation, contraception, pregnancy, abortion, adoption, and the well-being of adolescent families. It provides a systematic assessment of the impact of various programmatic approaches, both preventive and ameliorative, in light of the growing scientific understanding of the topic.

Book excerpt: Abstract: This report is designed to help school administrators set up or revise teen pregnancy and parenting programs in their schools. The first chapter analyzes the results of a survey of some 700 school administrators on their attitudes toward the teen pregnancy problem. The second and third chapters discuss what schools are now doing for pregnant and parenting teens. Five case studies are presented to provide successful examples from which administrators can borrow entire programs or choose certain elements that may work in their district. The beginning of each case study contains a contact that administrators may contact for more information about the program.
