Proposed Project

    1. School Health Policies and Programs Study 2000 (SHPPS 2000)-
(0920-0445)--Revision--The National Center for Chronic Disease 
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP). The purpose of this request 
is to obtain OMB clearance to conduct the main data collection studies 
and the validity/reliability studies. The pilot portion of the data 
collection was approved in April. Upon the completion of the pilot this 
package will be submitted for OMB review for the remainder of the 
survey. The studies involve school health policies and programs in 
elementary, middle/junior, and senior high schools nationwide. A 
similar study was conducted in 1994 (OMB No. 0920-0340). SHPPS 2000 
will assess the characteristics of eight components of school health 
programs at the elementary, middle/junior, and senior high school 
levels: health education, physical education and activity, health 
services, food service, school policy and environment, mental health 
and social services, faculty and staff health promotion, and family and 
community involvement. SHPPS 2000 data will be used to provide end-of-
decade measures for 18 national health objectives for 2000 and as a 
baseline measure for at least 17 draft objectives for 2010. No other 
national source of data exists for these 2000 and draft 2010 
objectives. The data also will have significant implications for policy 
and program development for school health programs nationwide. The 
total estimated cost to respondents $602,664.
