Abstract

This manuscript outlines the continuous quality improvement (CQI) process used to assess the Need to Know (N2K) teen pregnancy prevention program, consisting of six interactive 60-min modules for systems-involved youth (SIY) (youth in foster care, juvenile justice, or residential treatment centers) and one 120-min module for caregivers of SIY. There were ten implementation cycles with youth at two partner sites and six implementation cycles with caregivers at three partner sites. Purposeful sampling was used to select the sample of SIY at each partner site. Inclusion criteria for youth participants: English-speaking SIY who were not pregnant and were not parenting. Need to Know-Caregiver (N2K-C) was embedded as part of professional development training at partner sites. From July 2019 to March 2020, N2K-Youth and N2K-C were implemented with 102 youth and 84 caregivers, respectively. CQI areas of improvement included: streamlining content; increasing the number of activities; accommodating youth comprehension levels; increasing trauma-informed approaches; including mindfulness strategies; meeting youth where they are emotionally; improving facilitator preparedness to implement programming.

一个持续的质量改进过程，为参与系统的青少年创建性健康课程

本文概述了用于评估“需要知道”（N2K）青少年怀孕预防计划的持续质量改进（CQI）过程，该计划由六个针对系统参与青少年（寄养、少年司法或住院治疗中心的青少年）的60分钟交互式模块和一个针对系统参与青少年（SIY）的120分钟模块组成。在两个伙伴地点与青少年进行了10个实施周期，在三个伙伴地点与护理人员进行了6个实施周期。在每个合作点采用有目的的抽样方法选择SIY样本。青年参与者的纳入标准：说英语的SIY，没有怀孕和没有养育子女。需要了解照顾者（N2K-C）作为合作伙伴站点专业发展培训的一部分。从2019年7月到2020年3月，N2K-Youth和N2K-C分别在102名青少年和84名护理人员中实施。CQI改进的领域包括：精简内容；增加活动数量；配合青少年的理解力水平；增加创伤知情方法；包括正念策略；在情感上遇见年轻人；改进促进者为实施规划所做的准备。

期刊介绍： Evaluation and Program Planning is based on the principle that the techniques and methods of evaluation and planning transcend the boundaries of specific fields and that relevant contributions to these areas come from people representing many different positions, intellectual traditions, and interests. In order to further the development of evaluation and planning, we publish articles from the private and public sectors in a wide range of areas: organizational development and behavior, training, planning, human resource development, health and mental, social services, mental retardation, corrections, substance abuse, and education.
