Abstract	Recent research has suggested the importance of understanding for whom programs are most effective (Supplee et al., 2013) and that multidimensional profiles of risk and protective factors may moderate the effectiveness of programs (Lanza & Rhoades, 2012). For school-based prevention programs, moderators of program effectiveness may occur at both the individual and school levels. However, due to the relatively small number of schools in most individual trials, integrative data analysis across multiple studies may be necessary to fully understand the multidimensional individual and school factors that may influence program effectiveness. In this study, we applied multilevel latent class analysis to integrated data across four studies of a middle school pregnancy prevention program to examine moderators of program effectiveness on initiation of vaginal sex. Findings suggest that the program may be particularly effective for schools with USA-born students who speak another language at home. In addition, findings suggest potential positive outcomes of the program for individuals who are lower risk and engaging in normative dating or individuals with family risk. Findings suggest potential mechanisms by which teen pregnancy prevention programs may be effective. (As Provided).
