Program Evaluation Instruments & Program Development/Evaluation Publications

Instruments
Prevention Minimum Evaluation Data Set (PMEDS)
This publication provides a core Primary Questionnaire, with optional Supplementary Modules, that can be used for evaluating all teen pregnancy and teen STD/HIV/AIDS prevention programs.

Prevention Minimum Evaluation Data Set Jr. (PMEDS Jr).
This publication provides a short ready-to-use questionnaire for use in evaluating teen pregnancy STD/HIV/AIDS prevention programs that emphasize abstinence. Because of its focus on attitudes, intentions and skills, PMEDS Jr may also be suitable for evaluating programs aimed at younger teens.

Prevention Minimum Evaluation Data Set Jr. +
This publication, modeled after PMEDS, provides a core Primary Questionnaire, with optional Supplementary Modules that can be used for evaluating all teen pregnancy and teen STD/HIV/AIDS prevention programs. PMEDS Jr+ is considerably shorter than PMEDS, making it easier for local programs to select questions and develop a survey.
