SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: OPRE/ACF/HHS proposes data collection activities as
part of the Youth Empowerment IDEAS study. The goal of this project is
to collect descriptive data that will inform educational topics and
strategies for adolescent pregnancy prevention and youth health and
well-being. The project will identify messages and themes that are most
likely to resonate with youth. The project will inform hypotheses on
how to increase the effectiveness of sex education approaches so that
more youth avoid the risks associated with teen sex and teen pregnancy
rates are reduced. To support these efforts, we seek approval from the
Office of Management and Budget to collect survey information from
youth and young adults ages 14-24 and of parents of teens ages 14-18
using an online panel that is based on a
[[Page 18576]]
probability-based sample of the U.S. population. We propose the
following data collection instruments:
(1) Parent Survey: We will administer this as a web survey.
Information collected through the Parent Survey will be used to report
on demographics, the parent-child relationship, parents' attitudes and
beliefs about youth sex education and sexual behaviors, and parental
knowledge about youth sexual risk-taking.
(2) Youth Survey: We will administer a web survey in two parts to
youth ages 14-18. Information collected on Part I of the survey will be
used to report on demographics, the parent-child relationship, future
aspirations, and attitudes and beliefs about youth sexual behavior.
Information collected on Part II of the survey will include knowledge
about sexual risk, experience with sex education, and sexual risk
behaviors.
(3) Young Adult Survey: We will administer this to young adults
ages 19-24 as a web survey. Topics align with the youth survey, but
with slight wording changes to reflect the older population.
Respondents: The survey respondents are from an online panel of a
probability-based sample of the U.S. population of parents of youth
ages 14-18 and their youth ages 14-18 and of young adults ages 19-24.
