Making Proud Choices Alone
These sites will be trained in Making Proud Choices. Making Proud Choices: Making Proud Choices (MPC) is a well-established pregnancy and HIV/STI risk-reduction EBP with multiple trials demonstrating its effectiveness. Using Social Cognitive Theory, the Theories of Reasoned Action, and Planned Behavior, MPC aims to influence adolescents' knowledge and beliefs about risk, efficacy, and control to change behavior. MPC stresses the role of sexual responsibility, community, and pride in making safer sexual choices. The program promotes abstinence first, but also provides information and skills needed for safer-sex decision-making and practices (e.g., condom use).

These sites will receive training in Making Proud Choices and receive the Getting To Outcomes intervention.

Making Proud Choices AND Getting To Outcomes: In addition to MPC, these sites receive the Getting To Outcomes(GTO) intervention, which builds capacity for EBPs by strengthening the knowledge, attitudes, and skills needed to choose, plan, implement, evaluate, sustai

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At baseline (prior to GTO), midpoint of GTO (after 1 year), post GTO (after 2 years), and after a year of no GTO (for GTO+MPC group) or after a year of GTO after not having it for the previous two years (for MPC only group).

Investigators are using the Capacity Interview to assess BGC staff capacity to conduct high-quality teen pregnancy programming. Although programs consist of individual people with varying levels of abilities, capacity ratings are made at the program level since programs operate as a unit. The ratings are made using a structured interview with key program personnel at all 32 BGC sites. The ratings reflect how well each BGC site is carrying out the tasks tied to each of the ten steps of the GTO model, from "highly faithful" to "highly divergent" from ideal practice.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Twice per site in each of the two intervention years

Adherence -Over the two year intervention period, trained local data collectors are visiting each BGC site and rating how closely BGC staff adhere to each MPC module as designed. Dosage - BGC staff are recording how many of the eight modules each youth receives. Quality of delivery - During site visits, local data collectors are rating BGC staff on their teaching style-communication skills, interactions with participants, enthusiasm, and pacing-using a standardized rating sheet. Participant response - During site visits, local data collectors are rating student participation.
