Abstract:
There is limited information on the cost of interventions designed to reduce teen pregnancies. Estimates for a few teen pregnancy prevention programs are available from previous research and program developers (Aos 2014; Jemmott et al. 2010; Philiber 2002; Thomas 2011), but the data sources and methods for producing these estimates vary. Federal agencies and other funders are increasingly interested in knowing how much it costs, and what resources organizations require, to deliver these programs. To expand on currently available information, the Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services contracted with Mathematica Policy Research to conduct the multisite Cost Study of Evidence- Based Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Programs. Mathematica systematically collected cost data from grantees that were implementing select evidence-based programs designed to prevent teen pregnancy. This brief summarizes the main study findings.
