Proposed Project
Indicators of the Performance of Local, State, Territorial, and
Tribal Education Agencies in HIV Prevention, Coordinated School Health
Program, and Asthma Management Activities for Adolescent and School
Health Programs (OMB No. 0920-0672, exp. 6/30/2011)--Revision--Division
of Adolescent and School Health, National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH), CDC, supports
HIV prevention activities, coordinated school health program (CSHP)
activities, and asthma management activities conducted by local
education agencies (LEA), state education agencies (SEA), territorial
education agencies (TEA), and tribal governments (TG). DASH currently
collects information about these activities under OMB control number
0920-0672 (exp. 6/30/2011). Because there is currently no other
standardized annual reporting process for DASH-funded HIV prevention
activities, CSHP activities, and asthma management activities, DASH
seeks OMB approval to continue the information collection for three
years (FY2010--FY2012 data). The previously approved questionnaires
will be used to collect FY2010 data. Minor changes to the
questionnaires will be implemented for the FY2011 and FY2012 data
collections.
Information collection consists of four Web-based questionnaires
that correspond to specific funding sources within DASH. Two
questionnaires pertain to HIV-prevention program activities among LEAs
and SEAs/TEAs/TGs, the third questionnaire pertains to CSHP activities
among SEAs, and the fourth questionnaire pertains to asthma management
activities among LEAs. There are no changes to the estimated burden per
response for any of the questionnaires.
The two HIV questionnaires include questions about planning and
improving projects; development and distribution of materials,
professional development and individualized technical assistance on
school policies; development and distribution of materials,
professional development and individualized technical assistance on
education curricula and instruction; collaboration with external
partners; reducing disparities among populations of youth at
disproportionate risk; and information about additional program
activities.
The CSHP/PANT questionnaire also asks the questions above, but
focuses on physical activity, healthy eating, and tobacco-use
prevention activities. It includes additional questions about joint
activities of the State Education Agency and State Health Agency (SHA);
activities of the CSHP state-wide coalition; and development and
[[Page 1619]]
distribution of materials, professional development and individualized
technical assistance on health promotion programs and environmental
approaches to Physical Activity, Nutrition and Tobacco (PANT).
The asthma management questionnaire includes questions about
planning and improving projects; joint activities of the Local
Education Agency and Local Health Agency (LHA); policies; asthma-
related education; health promotion and environmental approaches to
asthma management; provision of health services; collaboration with
external partners; reducing disparities among populations of youth at
disproportionate risk; and information about additional program
activities. The sections on policies, asthma-related education, health
services and health promotion and environmental approaches to asthma
management include questions that address the development and
distribution of materials, professional development, and individualized
technical assistance.
Information gathered will: (1) Provide standardized information
about how HIV prevention, CSHP, and asthma management funds are used by
LEAs, SEAs, TEAs, and TGs; (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.
Participation in the information collection is required for
programs that receive funding through DASH. Each Web-based
questionnaire will be completed annually by the program coordinator for
the activity. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
