    Title of the Collection: Components Study of REAL Essential

    OMB No. 0990-NEW--Office of Population Affairs--OASH--OS.
    Abstract: The Office of Population Affairs (OPA), U.S. Department 
of Health and Human Services (HHS) is requesting 3 years of approval by 
OMB on a new collection. The Components Study of REAL Essential 
Curriculum will identify the components that matter the most for 
promoting positive health behaviors and outcomes among adolescents. The 
study will examine program components (for example, content and 
dosage), implementation components (for example, attendance and 
engagement), and contextual components (for example, participant 
characteristics) to determine which components influence participant 
outcomes the most. In addition, the study will measure youth engagement 
in programming from various perspectives and examine the role of 
engagement as a mediating factor to achieving youth outcomes. Sites 
participating in the study will use the REAL Essentials Advance (REA) 
relationship curriculum, a popular program among federal pregnancy 
prevention grantees. The study will enroll schools from spring to fall 
2022 (and possibly spring 2023, if necessary). The study will collect 
youth surveys at baseline, at program exit, and 6 months following the 
completion of the program. The study will also collect extensive 
implementation data, which includes youth engagement exit ticket 
surveys after REA sessions, focus groups with youth, program 
facilitator logs, and attendance records. Study staff will also 
interview facilitators and site leadership.
