Abstract | This document provides witness testimony and prepared statements from two Congressional hearings called to consider the reauthorization of the Adolescent Family Life Demonstration Projects. Testimony is presented from two officials of the Department of Health and Human Services who are responsible for administering the law, representatives from Adolescent Family Life projects, and two young women who have received services from these projects. Other testimony is from organizations in fields related to the goals of the Adolescent Family Life Act, which are interested in the intent of the act and in its practical application. The purposes of the Adolescent Family Life Act are defined, and the results of a research project on adoption that is funded by this act are presented. Witness reports review activities conducted under the program and examine the need for adolescent sexuality and pregnancy programs in their communities. Statements from project representatives emphasize their willingness to develop their projects so that alternative methods of providing services to adolescents can be evaluated. Discussions by recipients of research grants examine the need for improved data on the causes, consequences and most effective means of reducing the incidence of teenage sexual relations, pregnancy, and parenthood.
