“…Hand in hand with the slow but inexorable acceptance of evaluation's importance has come a wave of publications reviewing the evidence for the effectiveness of existing teen pregnancy prevention and teen STI/HIV/AIDS prevention programs (3,8,22,23,26,30,35,37,38,40,48,50,59,79). The consensus of these reviews is that the state of evaluation research on teen pregnancy prevention programs, although improved, still has a way to go before definitive findings can be touted.…”

This paper begins with a review of the problem of teen pregnancy in the United States. Domestic trends are compared with those of other developed countries. Antecedents of the problem are discussed. New developments in addressing the problem are then described, including the following: (a) a renewed emphasis on abstinence on the one hand; (b) a move toward a more positive view of teen sexuality on the other; (c) the development of new prevention initiatives such as STD/HIV/AIDS prevention programs, community-wide teen pregnancy prevention collaboratives, broad-based youth development programs, and state and local government initiatives; and (d ) the lauching of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. An analysis of the different ways in which the problem can be framed and the implications for solutions of the problem follow. Examples of promising teen pregnancy and STD/HIV/AIDS prevention programs are provided. The paper ends with a recommendation for an eclectic approach to framing the problem and possible solutions. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMTeen mothers are less likely to complete high school than their classmates. They are also more likely to end up on welfare. The children of teen mothers have lower birth weights, are more likely to perform poorly in school, are at greater risk of abuse and neglect, are more likely to be placed in foster care, are more likely to engage in criminal activity as adolescents and young adults, and are less likely to be economically and socially successful as adults. Daughters of teen mothers are more likely to repeat the cycle and themselves become teen mothers (38,47,49,52). Although recent research suggests that these multidimensional 257 0163-7525/99/0510

“…Second, it goes beyond identification of these promising programs to the innovative assembly in, and dissemination from, a single place of materials needed to re-implement and re-evaluate the promising programs. Third, it supports faithful replication of effective programs in the world of practice [9] by providing users with a comprehensive set of program materials along with a user's guide describing in detailed fashion how the supplied materials were used in the original implementation along with implementation tips supplied by the original developer or learned from the PASHA field test (to be described later) in independent sites [10,11].…”

“…Research indicates that private physician settings tend to offer fewer counseling and contraceptive services than specialized family planning sites. 9,10 A related potential negative consequence is that, with Medicaid coverage available to some portion of their clientele, Title X providers may lose a significant number of clients to other family planning providers, thus diminishing patient revenue that may supplement grant funds in covering operational expenses for the provision of family planning services.…”

Extending Medicaid Coverage for Family Planning Services: Alabama's First Four Years

SYNOPSISObjectives. This study examines whether Alabama's Medicaid family planning demonstration program reaches a different segment of the population than the health department-based Title X family planning program, whether service use rates differ across clients using care within and outside of the Title X provider system, and whether additional risk assessment and care coordination services provided by health department personnel increase the likelihood that family planning clients return for follow-up visits over time.Methods. Administrative data from four years of operation of the program were used to examine characteristics of the clientele, differences in services used across provider types included in the program, and the impact of risk assessments and care coordination on return visit rates.Results. The number of family planning service users increased dramatically over the four-year period, but were more similar demographically to Title X clients than to Medicaid maternity clients. Growth was greatest among clients of non-Title X providers. Newly covered services, including risk assessments and care coordination, were available mostly to Title X clients, and these services were associated with a greater likelihood that clients returned for care in subsequent years.Conclusion. Expanded provider networks can increase the number of low income women using family planning services while risk assessment and care coordination can improve the effectiveness of these services. However, enhanced services may not be equally available across provider systems. Additional outreach efforts are needed to reach women eligible for publicly supported family planning services who are not currently using these services.
