Proposed Project

    Indicators of the Performance of Local and State and Education 
Agencies in HIV-prevention and Coordinated School Health Program 
Activities for Adolescent and School Health Programs (0920-0672)--
(Extension)--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The proposed project is an annual Web-based questionnaire to assess 
programmatic activities among local education agencies (LEA) and state 
and territorial education agencies (SEA and TEA) funded by the Division 
of Adolescent and School Health (DASH), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention.
    Currently, there is no standardized annual reporting process for 
HIV prevention activities or coordinated school health program (CSHP) 
activities among LEAs and SEAs/TEAs funded by DASH. Data being gathered 
will be in the form of four questionnaires, which will: (1) Provide 
standardized information about how HIV prevention, asthma management, 
and CSHP funds are used by LEAs and SEAs; (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. These questionnaires 
are to be completed within ninety days after the end of the fiscal year 
by the DASH-funded partners on a Web site managed by DASH.
    Of the four Web-based questionnaires corresponding to the specific 
funding source: Two (2) questionnaires will pertain to HIV-prevention 
program activities among LEAs and SEAs/TEAs; one (1) will pertain to 
asthma management activities among LEAs; and one (1) will pertain to 
CSHP activities among SEAs.
    The 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 on student standards.
     Collaboration with external partners.
     Targeting priority populations.
     Planning and improving projects.
     Information about additional program activities.
    The asthma questionnaire will ask the questions above, but will 
focus on asthma management activities.
    The CSHP questionnaire will also ask the questions above, but 
focused on physical activity, nutrition, and tobacco-use prevention 
activities (PANT), and 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 
PANT.
    There are no costs to respondents except their time to participate 
in the survey.
