What is a Promising Program?
Promising Programs have been implemented and subjected to some evaluation showing positive outcomes in preventing teen pregnancy and related behaviors. However, they have not yet been sufficiently evaluated and/or had consistently positive outcomes required for science-based status. Nonetheless, Promising Programs are eligible to be elevated to science-based status once additional research regarding program effectiveness is completed. The hope is that promising programs, through additional refinement and evaluation, will evolve into science-based programs.
