Healthy KidsIdaho receives funding from CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health to promote coordinated school health, provide HIV prevention education, and conduct the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). Idaho’s Coordinated School Health Program (CSHP) is a collaborative effort between the state’s Department of Education and Department of Health and Welfare. Idaho's HIV/AIDS Education Program works with schools, school district staff, state and local health departments, professional organizations, and nonprofit organizations to provide teachers and school staff with the knowledge and skills needed to ensure effective implementation of HIV prevention education.

Idaho's Program In Action

Promoting Coordinated School Health with an Emphasis on Physical Activity, Nutrition, and Tobacco Use Prevention (PANT)

  • Strengthening collaborative partnerships at the state level to provide support to schools, communities, and local organizations in developing and implementing a coordinated school health program.
     
  • Providing technical assistance to school districts to further develop, implement, and evaluate their school wellness polices.
     
  • Convening a statewide summit to identify available student health data and gaps in data collection.
     
  • Creating school improvement plans for physical activity, nutrition, and tobacco use prevention using results from the School Health Index (SHI).
     
  • Providing technical assistance to help districts evaluate their physical education curricula using the Physical Education Curriculum Analysis Tool (PECAT).

Providing HIV Prevention Education

  • Maintaining and updating a statewide professional development cadre to conduct regional workshops for teachers and staff on HIV prevention strategies.
     
  • Conducting regional workshops on HIV/AIDS prevention to ensure that new teachers and staff receive accurate information.
     
  • Collaborating with community-based agencies to provide HIV prevention education to high-risk youth, including out-of-school youth.

Conducting the Youth Risk Behavior Survey

  • Collaborating with the Governor's Commission, members of the school board from the state’s largest school district, and the HIV/AIDS Materials Review Panel to select and administer the YRBS survey questions.
     
  • Administering the YRBS in high schools throughout Idaho to obtain data representative of students in grades 9-12.
     
  • Developing a marketing plan to distribute the YRBS results to schools, health departments, legislators, and other youth-serving agencies.
