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.

Some organizations didn’t report findings, some admitted there was no difference in teen pregnancy rates, some reported improvements that quickly faded, and some showed increasing pregnancy rates.

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.
