The Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) sought to create a comprehensive set of performance measures to capture the performance of the Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) program. This performance measurement system needed to provide measures that could be used internally (by both OAH and the TPP grantees) for management and program improvement as well as externally to communicate the program's progress to other interested stakeholders and Congress. This article describes the selected measures and outlines the considerations behind the TPP measurement development process. Issues faced, challenges encountered, and lessons learned have broad applicability for other federal agencies and, specifically, for TPP programs interested in assessing their own performance and progress.
青少年健康办公室(OAH)试图创建一套全面的绩效衡量标准,以衡量青少年怀孕预防(TPP)计划的执行情况。该绩效衡量系统需要提供可用于内部(OAH 和 TPP 受赠方均可使用)管理和项目改进的衡量标准,以及用于向其他利益相关方和国会沟通项目进展的外部衡量标准。本文介绍了选定的衡量标准,并概述了 TPP 衡量标准制定过程背后的考虑因素。所面临的问题、遇到的挑战和吸取的经验教训对其他联邦机构具有广泛的适用性,特别是对那些有兴趣评估自身绩效和进展的 TPP 项目具有适用性。
