    Proposed Project: Indicators of the Performance of Local and State 
Education Agencies in HIV-prevention and Coordinated School Health 
Program Activities for Adolescent and School Health Programs--New--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This 
proposed project is an annual Web-based questionnaire to assess 
programmatic activities among local, State and territorial education 
agencies (LEA, SEA and TEA) funded by CDC, National Center for Chronic 
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Division of Adolescent and 
School Health.
    Currently, CDC does not fund a standardized annual reporting 
process that assesses HIV-prevention activities or coordinated school 
health program (CSHP) activities among LEAs, SEAs and TEAs within the 
National Center of Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. 
Data gathered from this questionnaire will: (1) Provide standardized 
information about how HIV-prevention and Coordinated School Health 
Program (CSHP) funds are used by LEAs, SEAs and TEAs; (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.
    There will be three Web-based questionnaires corresponding to the 
specific funding sources from the CDC, NCCDPHP, Division of Adolescent 
and School Health. Two questionnaires pertain to HIV-prevention program 
activities among LEAs, SEAs and TEAs. The third questionnaire pertains 
to CSHP activities among SEAs. The two 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 of student standards.
--Collaboration with external partners.
--Targeting priority populations.
--Planning and improving projects.
--Information about additional program activities.

    The third questionnaire, CSHP, will also ask the questions above, 
however, it will focus on physical activity, nutrition, and tobacco-use 
prevention activities. It will 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 Physical 
Activity, Nutrition and Tobacco (PANT)

    .There is no cost to respondents except for their time.
