Abstract: This article in a special supplement to the Journal of Adolescent Health draws on data from the ongoing federal Evaluation of Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Approaches to discuss the early implementation experiences of two new and innovative programs in California and Ohio intended to delay rapid repeat pregnancy among teen mothers. Addressing program challenges—such as recruitment and retention, staff capacity and training, barriers to participation, and participants' overarching service needs—could inform future teen pregnancy prevention efforts.
