Indicators for School Health Programs: to support Coordinated School Health Programs (CSHPs) and to address Physical Activity, Nutrition, and Tobacco Use (PANT) Fiscal Year: March 1, 2008 – February 28, 2009 Division of Adolescent and School Health Funding Opportunity Number: CDC-RFA-DP08-801: Improving Health and Educational Outcomes of Young People Instructions This set of indicators describes the performance in ten areas of your project to support Coordinated School Health Programs (CSHP): (1) project planning; (2) joint activities of the State Education Agency and State Health Agency; (3) activities of state-level coalitions to support CSHP at the local level; (4) CSHP, physical activity, nutrition, and tobacco-use prevention policies; (5) curricula and instruction; (6) assessment of student performance; (7) health promotion and environmental approaches; (8) external collaboration; (9) reducing health disparities among populations of youth at disproportionate risk for chronic diseases; and (10) other information and activities. A glossary of terms is included at the end of the Indicators. Activities to be reported are those for which any amount of DASH funds were used, or in which staff time to develop, implement, or evaluate activities was funded in any amount by DASH. These questions apply only to priority health risk behaviors addressed in Funding Opportunity Announcement DP08-801, excluding supplementary funding. Please answer each question carefully and accurately. Not all items or activities may reflect the emphasis of your plan for the current fiscal year, and therefore you may report that you have not performed activities in those areas by entering zeros. Additionally, you may not currently collect information about some activities. If so, please leave the answer blank. Please be sure to include materials for those items requesting attachments. Public reporting burden of this collection of information is estimated to average 9 hours per response, including the time reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a current valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to CDC/ATSDR Reports Clearance Officer; 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS-D-74, Atlanta, Georgia 30333; ATTN: PRA (0920-0672).
