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, NCCDPHP, Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH).
    Currently, CDC does not fund a standardized annual reporting 
process within NCCDPHP that assesses HIV prevention activities or 
coordinated school health program (CSHP) activities among LEAs, SEAs 
and TEAs. Data gathered from this questionnaire will: (1) Provide 
standardized information about how HIV prevention and 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, DASH. 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; and
--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; and
--Health promotion programs and environmental approaches to Physical 
Activity, Nutrition and Tobacco (PANT).

    There are no costs to respondents except for their time. The 
approximate annualized burden hours are 718.
