The Office of Population Affairs has announced the Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Program.
OASH works to advance health equity, especially for those who have suffered historic disparities. In support of this vision, OPA promotes health across the reproductive lifespan through innovative, evidence-based sexual and reproductive health and family planning programs, services, strategic partnerships, evaluation, and research. The Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Program is a national, evidence-based program that funds diverse organizations working to reach adolescents to improve sexual and reproductive health outcomes and promote positive youth development.
OPA intends this Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Program initiative to advance equity in adolescent health by targeting resources to specifically support replication of medically accurate and age-appropriate evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention programs (EBPs) and services in communities and populations with the greatest needs.
