Responding to our nation’s call
In 2010, two federal initiatives provided funding to
support the use of proven, evidence-based programs for
teen pregnancy prevention. Six ETR Associates programs
were included in these initiatives.
In response, we assisted more than 150 agencies during
the grant-writing phase. Today, we continue to provide
materials to more than 100 TPPI and PREP funded
organizations in 28 states and 9 tribal entities.
Our nationally recognized research team worked
with communities across the United States to develop
adaptations that keep programs effective while better
reaching local youth.
Our seasoned training team traveled throughout
the country, delivering trainings to agencies receiving
TPPI and PREP funding.

Reducing teen pregnancy through
evidence-based programs
ETR evidence-based
programs approved by
two federal initiatives 6
Teens account for 1 in 5 of all unintended pregnancies in the U.S. Our rate of
teen pregnancy continues to be one of the highest in the developed world.
Risks of teen pregnancy
More medical problems for
mother and baby.
Teen moms are less likely to
complete high school and
more likely to live in poverty.
Teen fathers may complete less
education and earn less.
Children of teen moms are less likely
to complete high school, more likely
to have behavioral problems and to
become teen parents and, for boys,
more likely to be in jail or prison at
some time in their lives.
