Abstract:
Gen.M is being implemented as part of the Evaluation of Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Approaches (PPA). PPA is a national evaluation funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Adolescent Health, to study the effectiveness of various teen pregnancy prevention approaches in seven sites. The study is designed to provide rigorous evidence about program impacts, document program implementation, and generate insights about the successes and challenges of program delivery. The evaluation in Travis County focuses on the first ever implementation of Gen.M, although the program was derived from earlier EngenderHealth curricula on gender roles. The evaluation will test the impact of Gen.M on youth ages 14 to 16 in three cohorts. It will test whether the Gen.M program is effective at delaying sexual activity and/or reducing risky sexual behavior among youth who are sexually active. This report presents findings from the first year of Gen.M program implementation. The report describes the program's design, facilitators' training in and delivery of the program, and youth engagement in and understanding of the material. It concludes with tentative lessons about implementing programs such as Gen.M.
