Proposed Project
Indicators of the Performance of Local and State and Education
Agencies in HIV-prevention and Coordinated School Health Program
Activities for Adolescent and School Health Programs (0920-0672)--
(Extension)--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The proposed project is an annual Web-based questionnaire to assess
programmatic activities among local education agencies (LEA) and state
and territorial education agencies (SEA and TEA) funded by the Division
of Adolescent and School Health (DASH), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
Currently, there is no standardized annual reporting process for
HIV prevention activities or coordinated school health program (CSHP)
activities among LEAs and SEAs/TEAs funded by DASH. Data being gathered
will be in the form of four questionnaires, which will: (1) Provide
standardized information about how HIV prevention, asthma management,
and CSHP funds are used by LEAs and SEAs; (2) assess the extent to
which programmatic adjustments are indicated; (3) provide descriptive
and process information about program activities; and (4) provide
greater accountability for use of public funds. These questionnaires
are to be completed within ninety days after the end of the fiscal year
by the DASH-funded partners on a Web site managed by DASH.
Of the four Web-based questionnaires corresponding to the specific
funding source: Two (2) questionnaires will pertain to HIV-prevention
program activities among LEAs and SEAs/TEAs; one (1) will pertain to
asthma management activities among LEAs; and one (1) will pertain to
CSHP activities among SEAs.
The HIV questionnaires will include questions on:
Distribution of, professional development and
individualized technical assistance on school policies.
Distribution of professional development and
individualized technical assistance on education curricula and
instruction.
Distribution of professional development and
individualized technical assistance assessment on student standards.
Collaboration with external partners.
Targeting priority populations.
Planning and improving projects.
Information about additional program activities.
The asthma questionnaire will ask the questions above, but will
focus on asthma management activities.
The CSHP questionnaire will also ask the questions above, but
focused on physical activity, nutrition, and tobacco-use prevention
activities (PANT), and include additional questions on:
Joint activities of the State Education Agency and State
Health Agency (SHA).
Activities of the CSHP state-wide coalition.
Health promotion programs and environmental approaches to
PANT.
There are no costs to respondents except their time to participate
in the survey.
