Proposed Project

    Indicators of the Performance of Local, State, Territorial, and 
Tribal Education Agencies in HIV Prevention, Coordinated School Health 
Program, and Asthma Management Activities for Adolescent and School 
Health Programs--Reinstatement--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, 
territorial, and tribal government education agencies (SEAs, TEAs, and 
TGs) funded by the Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The questionnaires are 
referred to as the Indicators for School Health Programs.
    Currently, the Indicators for School Health Programs are the only 
standardized annual reporting process for HIV prevention activities or 
coordinated school health program (CSHP) activities funded by DASH. 
There is no other standardized annual reporting process for HIV 
prevention activities or coordinated school health program (CSHP) 
activities among LEAs and SEAs/TEAs/TGs funded by DASH. The data being 
gathered via the questionnaires: (1) Provides standardized information 
about how HIV prevention, CSHP/physical activity, nutrition, and 
tobacco (PANT) use, and asthma management funds are used by LEAs and 
SEAs/TEAs/TGs; (2) assesses the extent to which programmatic 
adjustments are indicated; (3) provides descriptive and process 
information about program activities; and (4) provides greater 
accountability for use of public funds. The questionnaires are 
completed by the DASH-funded partners on a Web site managed by DASH. 
The questionnaires are to be completed ninety days after the end of 
each fiscal year.
    The Web-based questionnaires correspond to the specific funding 
source from the Division of Adolescent and School Health: two 
questionnaires pertain to HIV-prevention program activities among LEAs 
and SEAs/TEAs/TGs; one pertains to CSHP/PANT activities among SEAs/TGs; 
and one pertains to asthma management activities among LEAs.
    Two HIV prevention questionnaires include questions on project 
planning, materials distribution, professional development activities, 
provision of technical assistance, collaboration with external 
partners, and reducing health disparities among populations at 
disproportionate risk. CDC plans to implement minor changes in the HIV 
questionnaires beginning in year 2 of this clearance period.
    The CSHP/PANT questionnaire focuses on the activities above as well 
as on physical activity, healthy eating, and tobacco-use prevention 
activities. CDC plans to implement minor changes in the CSHP/PANT 
questionnaire beginning in year 2 of this clearance period.
    The asthma management questionnaire includes questions on project 
planning, materials distribution, professional development activities, 
provision of technical assistance, collaboration with external 
partners, reducing health disparities among populations at 
disproportionate risk, and health services. Information collection on 
asthma management programs will begin in year 2 of this clearance 
period.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time to complete 
the survey.
    The total estimated annualized burden hours are 783.
