The Adolescent Family Life (AFL) Care Core Evaluation Instruments are for use by AFL demonstration projects funded under Title XX of the Public Health Service Act and administered by the Office of Adolescent Pregnancy Programs. Most questions have been drawn from large surveys, giving evaluators the ability to compare their data to national data. The instruments are intended to serve as a starting point to measuring the demonstration project; grantees are encouraged to use additional instruments in their evaluation designs to measure any unique aspects of their demonstration projects that are not covered by the core instruments. The instruments were recently revised and approved for use again through the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
Researchers who are interested in using these instruments or the constructs within them should consult this codebook (pdf, 224 kb) to obtain information on the constructs, item sources, and tips for data analysis.
