Evaluating a Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program in Rural Kentucky

The Administration for Children and Families funded a rigorous evaluation of an adapted, eight-hour version of Reducing the Risk, teen pregnancy prevention curriculum in rural Kentucky, in 13 high schools. The program was delivered by trained staff from two local health departments in Kentucky with federal grant funding from one of the largest federally funded programs designed to address adolescent pregnancy, Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP). This Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation brief provides a final summary of key implementation and impact findings from the evaluation of the adapted version of Reducing the Risk in Kentucky.
