Proposed Project
Indicators of the Performance of Local and State and Education Agencies in HIVprevention and Coordinated School Health Program Activities for Adolescent and School Health ProgramsReinstatement with ChangeNational Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description
The Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH), CDC, supports HIV prevention activities and coordinated school health program (CSHP) activities conducted by local education agencies (LEA) and state and territorial education agencies (SEA and TEA). DASH has previously collected information on these activities under OMB control number 09200672, which is scheduled to expire in February 2008. Because there is currently no other standardized annual reporting process for HIV prevention activities or CSHP activities, DASH seeks OMB approval to reinstate the previously fielded webbased questionnaires. In addition, DASH proposes to add a new questionnaire to assess asthma management activities to be conducted by LEAs and SEAs.
Four Webbased questionnaires will be used that correspond to specific funding sources within the Division of Adolescent and School Health. Two questionnaires pertain to HIVprevention program activities among LEAs and SEAs/TEAs. The third questionnaire pertains to asthma management activities among LEAs. The fourth questionnaire pertains to CSHP activities among SEAs.
The two HIV questionnaires will include questions on:
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 will focus on physical activity, nutrition, and tobaccouse prevention activities (PANT). It will include additional questions on:
Information gathered from the questionnaires 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.
Each Webbased questionnaire will be completed annually. There are
no costs to respondents except their time to participate in the survey.
