U.S. Survey of Services Provided by Adolescent Pregnancy Programs, 1980

This study, sponsored by the Office of Adolescent Pregnancy Programs, involved a nationwide survey of adolescent pregnancy projects. Part of a national investigation of the problems associated with adolescent pregnancy and of methods for improving services to those directly affected by teenage childbearing, the study sought to \"delineate, identify, describe, and evaluate existing programs at the federal, state, and local levels associated with the problem of adolescent pregnancy and adolescent parents\". To these ends, data were obtained regarding (1) the general characteristics of the program (e.g., location, catchment area, sponsorship, age of program , and age-range of clients), (2) the types of services offered by the program and the mode of provision of those services, and (3) key administrative features of the project, including demographic data regarding the clients served, program monitoring and evaluation procedures, and sources of progra m funding.
