PREP Performance Measures Fact Sheet: 2019–2020

PREP performance measures data provide systematic information about program operations and outcomes for all PREP grantees, their provider organizations, the programs they operate, and the youth they serve. The findings in this fact sheet are based on performance measures for the 2019—2020 reporting period.

• During the 2019—2020 reporting period, PREP funded 92 grantees and 386 program providers. Providers operated 496 programs that served 97,966 youth during the period.
• The most commonly implemented program models were Making Proud Choices!, Teen Outreach Program, Be Proud! Be Responsible!, and Reducing the Risk.
• PREP grantees must address at least three of six adulthood preparation subjects (APSs). Programs most commonly addressed healthy relationships, healthy life skills, and adolescent development.
• Participants primarily attended PREP programming in schools during school time.
• More than three-quarters of youth participants completed at least 75 percent of the intended programming hours.
• PREP programs served diverse populations of youth.
• At program exit, most youth reported positive perceptions of the PREP programs.

This fact sheet is based on measures PREP grantees submitted for the 2019—2020 reporting period. Grantees submit data on PREP performance measures at three levels: (1) grantee, (2) provider, and (3) program. Some measures are collected from individual participants through entry and exit surveys, and those results are combined at the program level for submission to FYSB. Analyses in this fact sheet are based on combined findings across grantees, providers, and programs.

Grantees use a web-based system to submit performance measures to FYSB. Performance measures on structure, cost, and support for program implementation are submitted annually. Other measures—such as attendance, reach, and dosage and measures of youth participants’ characteristics and experiences in PREP—are submitted twice a year.
