Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) contracted the Institute of Public Policy to conduct a four part evaluation of the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) being implemented in communities throughout Missouri. The PREP evaluation will determine if the program effectively educates and supports adolescents (ages 12-19) to make informed decisions, develop life skills, and practice healthy behaviors now and in the future for successfully transitioning from adolescence to adulthood.
