The purpose of the Moving Science-Based Approaches Forward Case Study series is to showcase real-life narratives of state efforts to move science-based approaches to teen pregnancy prevention into schools and/or their efforts to work with parents to gain support for teen pregnancy prevention programs. The case studies will provide concrete examples of successfully implementing science-based approaches to teen pregnancy prevention and is part of the technical assistance provided by The National Campaign through the CDC-funded project Promoting Science-Bases Approaches—Getting to Outcomes (PSBA-GTO).
The PSBA-GTO project aims to increase the capacity of state and local organizations to use science-based approaches to prevent teen pregnancy. The project has developed a clear process for building capacity. This process connects essential steps for program planning, implementation, and evaluation and is designed for the field of teen pregnancy prevention. The PSBA-GTO process consists of ten steps including a needs and resource assessment, building a logic model to have clear concise goals, building internal and external capacity, implementation, process and outcome evaluation, and sustaining funded work. While some of the states we anticipate featuring in the case studies follow the specific PSBA-GTO sequences and others do not, all case studies will focus on the promotion of science-based approaches and will bring helpful insights to the PSBA-GTO project as well as the field more broadly. The case studies will be developed through interviews with state partners who are interested in sharing their stories.

About the Putting What Works to Work Project
Putting What Works to Work (PWWTW) is a project of The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy funded, in part, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Through PWWTW, the National Campaign is translating research on teen pregnancy prevention and related issues into user-friendly materials for practitioners, policymakers, and advocates. As part of this initiative, the Moving Science-Based Approaches Forward Case Study series summarizes real-life narratives of state’s success in move science-based approaches to teen pregnancy prevention into schools and/or their efforts to work with parents to gain support for teen pregnancy prevention programs.
