Proposed Project

    School Health Policies and Programs 2006, OMB No. 0920-0445--
Reinstatement with Change--National Center for Chronic Disease 
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC intends to continue to conduct the School Health Policies and 
Programs Study (SHPPS) in 2006. SHPPS is a national study of school 
health policies and programs at the state, district, school, and course 
levels. Much of the information collected will expand upon data 
gathered from the SHPPS 1994 (OMB No. 0920-0340, expiration date 1/31/
95) and 2000 (OMB No. 0920-0445, expiration date 10/31/2002).
    Modifications were made to the SHPPS 2000 survey to improve the 
clarity of items. New items were developed to capture information on 
topics of emerging importance. Specifically, three new topics were 
added to the School Policy and Environment questionnaires: Physical 
school environment; crisis preparedness, response, and recovery; and 
school climate.
    SHPPS 2006 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, health 
services, mental health and social services, food service, school 
policy and environment, faculty and staff health promotion, and family 
and community involvement. SHPPS 2006 data will be used to provide 
measures for 16 Healthy People 2010 national health objectives. No 
other national source of data exists for these objectives. The data 
also will have significant implications for policy and program 
development for school health programs nationwide.
    There are no direct costs to the respondents except for their time 
to participate in the survey. The total estimated annualized burden 
hours are 22,840.
