The project was implemented in different kinds of settings, with a wide variety of youth (age, ethnicity, gender, language/cultural background, urban and rural). The implementation had a large sample size that allowed for a robust evaluation strategy. This was a large-scale replication of an evidence-based program, TOP®. This program consists of a long-term approach (nine months), high dosage for participants (25 sessions with 20 hours of service learning), a comprehensive curriculum, youth-generated discussion and dialogue, and the development of ongoing relationships with trusted adults. This report describes the implementation and impact of this program including the cluster randomized controlled trial, the implementation process and findings, and the impact study and findings.

This report describes the methods and results of the evaluation of the TOP® program as implemented in Hennepin County. The evaluation included two studies: (1) the impact of offering TOP® to middle- and high school-aged youth (the impact study) and (2) the context, implementation fidelity, and challenges faced in implementing the program (the implementation study). Prior to this evaluation, the primary evidence of TOP®'s effectiveness was based on one randomized controlled trial conducted between 1991 and 1995 with 695 teens in 25 high schools across the United States (Allen, Philliber, Herrling & Kuperminc, 1997). The program took place in a mix of in-school and after-school settings, and the youth sample was predominantly female (85%) and African American (67%), with an average age of 15.8 years. The subgroup of adolescent girls participating in the program was significantly less likely than the control group to report a pregnancy during the academic year of the nine-month program; no effects were found for boys (contributing to a pregnancy). The study was not designed to analyze whether this effect was sustained beyond the immediate post-test nor did it include sexual risk-taking behavior outcomes. The study met the HHS Teen Pregnancy Prevention Evidence Review criteria for a high study rating, indicating that it was a well-implemented randomized controlled trial based on the evidence review standards in place in 2010 (Mathematica Policy Research & Child Trends, 2010; Goesling, Colman, Trenholm, Terzian & Moore, 2014).

This report evaluates the Wyman Teen Outreach Program (TOP) using a randomized control trial design. The goal of this evaluation was to replicate the findings of Allen et al. (1997), which demonstrated a significant reduction in problem behaviors, including teen pregnancy, following the TOP® intervention relative to a no-treatment control group within a randomized control trial design. Previous evaluations conducted between 1990 and 2001 demonstrated the effectiveness of TOP® (Allen et al., 1990; Allen et al., 1997; Allen and Philliber, 2001). Further, the Brookings Institution recognized TOP® in its 2007 report to the U.S. Congress, Cost Effective Investments in Children, as one of the best programs in the country, stating that every $1 invested in TOP® produced a $1.29 return on investment (Isaacs, 2007).

Florida, the 3rd most populous state in the United States, ranks poorly on most adolescent education and health indicators. Compared with other states, Florida ranked 25th (50th being the worst) in adolescents (16 to 19 years) not going to school and not working ("drop-outs") and 45th in public high school graduation rates in 2009. In 2010, Florida ranked 31st for adolescent (15 to 19 years) live birth rates, 30th for rates of infection with Chlamydia, 34th for rates of infection with Gonorrhea, and 35th for rates of infection with Syphilis. Additionally, Florida had the 3rd highest adolescent (15 to 19 years) HIV diagnosis rate in the nation. One contributor to these poor outcomes is the extent to which Florida's substantial number of non-metropolitan geographic areas are medically underserved. Designed to promote healthy choices, reduce teen pregnancy and increase school success, TOP models an asset-based approach by helping youth develop positive skills, attitudes, and knowledge related to school, problem solving, community engagement, goal setting, and social relationships. This report will contribute to evidence on the program's effectiveness by outlining implementation as well as impact findings (Section IV) and reviewing their implications.
