女孩公司，前身是美国女孩俱乐部，在预防青少年怀孕，这是在1985年发起的方案进行了评估，以获得有关怀孕，教育和职业期望，社会人口特征的性行为和态度的信息，并确定2个组件的有效性为12-14岁的女孩推迟过早的性行为。干预的理论基础进行了讨论，并在文献中经常出现的3个主题的描绘。还介绍了方案干预措施。评估的两个方案组成部分是“意志力/不愿力”和“共同成长”，前者教授一般和具体的自信技能，后者促进父母和女儿之间的沟通。样本包括412名12至14岁的处女，其中25%没有参加任何一个方案，来自青少年怀孕率高于全国平均水平的社区。参与者必须完成一整年的调查，包括调查之前和之后。257人参加了意志力/意志力; 84人参加了共同成长; 46人参加了这两个项目。参与者和非参与者的背景特征相似。这份档案主要是一个12奥尔兹的非洲裔美国人，信奉新教。共同成长的参与者略有不同，不太可能参与早期性交。双变量和逻辑回归分析的结果是，非参与者在研究期间开始性交的可能性是共同成长参与者的2.5倍，但这只是轻微的统计学显著性。然而，当控制年龄，宗教，种族和与怀孕的青少年接触时，共同成长的参与有助于推迟性交的开始。意志力的参与并不能解释发起性活动的可能性的任何差异，尽管那些参与时间短的人发起性活动的可能性是那些参与时间长的人的3倍。3组间的选择偏差分析发现，在最好的情况下，有一个微弱的指示选择偏差的学习成绩变量，但没有关系的接触与青少年怀孕变量。作者的结论是，研究结果是一致的，尽管并不总是具有统计学意义，而且意志力，特别是这两个程序，延迟了性活动的开始。在评价前实施了附属公司，并进行了一些微小变更。预计将根据对影响的持续分析作出进一步改进。
The Girls Incorporated, formerly Girls Clubs of America, program in Preventing Adolescent Pregnancy, which was initiated in 1985, was evaluated to obtain information about sexual behavior and attitudes related to pregnancy, educational and career expectations, and sociodemographic characteristics, and to ascertain the effectiveness of 2 components for girls aged 12-14 in delaying early sexual involvement. The theoretical base of intervention is discussed and delineation of 3 themes recurrent in the literature. Program interventions are also described. The 2 program components evaluated were Will Power/Won't Power which taught skill in general and specific assertiveness, and Growing Together, which facilitated communication between parents and daughters. The sample consisted of 412 virgin girls 12-14 years, of which 25% did not participate in either program, from communities in which the adolescent pregnancy rate was higher than the national average. Participants were required to have completed 1 complete year which included before and after surveys. 257 participated in Will Power/Won't Power; 84 in Growing Together; and 46 in both programs. Participants and nonparticipants were similar in background characteristics. The profile was one of primarily African American 12 year olds of a Protestant religion. Growing Together participants were slightly different and less likely to engage in early sexual intercourse. The findings of the bivariate and logistic regression analyses were that nonparticipants were 2.5 times more likely to initiate sexual intercourse during the study year than participants in Growing Together, but this was only marginally statistically significant. It is suggested however that when controlling for age, religion, race and having contact with a pregnant teen that Growing Together participation contributed to a delay in the initiation of sexual intercourse. Participation in Will Power did not account for any differences in likelihood of initiating sexual activity, although those who participated for a short time were 3 times more likely to initiate sexual activity than those participating longer. Analysis of selection bias among the 3 groups found that at best there was a weak indication of selection bias on the academic performance variable, but no relationship on the contact with a teen pregnancy variable. The authors concluded that the findings were consistent, although not always statistically significant, and that the Will Power, and particularly both programs, delayed initiation of sexual activity. Affiliate implementation occurred before evaluation with some minor changes. Further refinements are expected based on continual analysis of impact.
