Programs

The Teen Pregnancy Prevention Evidence Review (TPPER) identified programs and program components (elements and activities that make up programs) with evidence of effectiveness in reducing teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and associated sexual risk behaviors. For more information about evidence-based program components—the new addition to the TPPER—click on Find an Evidence-based Program Component, below. To find out why a program or component is not on the list of evidence-based programs or components, go to the Reviewed Studies page. Please note: Each individual program description is based on the version of the program that was rigorously evaluated and determined to have evidence of effectiveness. A newer version of the program, which could have different components or implementation requirements, may be available through the program’s developer or distributor. Newer versions of a program may be substantively different from the version that was evaluated. The program component table allows you to see which components were in the evaluated version and in the version that was completed by the developer in 2023 (if available). Some federal grant programs may have fidelity requirements if implementing an evidence-based program. Please be sure to check with your federal funder to inquire about fidelity requirements related to implementation of an evidence-based program.
