Under the Obama administration, Congress decided in 2010 to allocate $100 million a year in grants to contraception-based Teen Pregnancy Prevention programs (TPP). In 2017, all funding for abstinence education was eliminated from the budget.

Of those grantees continuing past programs, only four of more than 75 reported effective results, and those results were short-lived. Of the grantees trying “new” ideas, only eight of 27 showed the slightest effectiveness.
