Proposed Project
School Health Policies and Practices Study (formerly titled School
Health Policies and Programs Study, OMB No. 0920-0445, exp. 9/30/
2012)--Reinstatement with Changes--Division of Adolescent and School
Health (DASH), National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and
TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC has previously examined the role schools play in addressing
health risk behaviors through the School Health Policies and Programs
Study (SHPPS, OMB NO. 0920-0445), a series of data collections
conducted at the state, district, school, and classroom levels in 1994
(OMB No. 0920-0340, exp. 1/31/1995), 2000 (OMB No. 0920-0445, exp. 10/
31/2002), 2006 (OMB No. 0920-0445, exp. 11/30/2008), and 2012 (OMB No.
0920-0445, exp. 9/30/2012).
CDC plans to reinstate data collection in 2014 and 2016 with
changes. SHPPS will assess the characteristics of eight components of
school health programs at the elementary, middle, and high school
levels: health education, physical education, health services, mental
health and social services, nutrition services, healthy and safe school
environment, faculty and staff health promotion, and family and
community involvement. This data collection will take place at the
school- and classroom-levels in 2014 and at the district level in 2016.
The school- and classroom-level data collection proposed for 2014 was
approved for 2012 but was not conducted because of insufficient funds.
Sixteen questionnaires will be used: seven at the district level,
seven at the school level and two at the classroom level. The school-
and classroom-level questionnaires will be identical to those approved
for data collection in 2012. The district-level questionnaires will
include minor modifications to the 2012 questionnaires. For example,
question wording will be revised to improve clarity. The school-level
data collection also will include vending machine observations, which
will yield the only nationally representative dataset of snack and
beverage offerings available to students through school vending
machines. These observations were a part of the 2012 study protocol but
were not conducted because of insufficient funds.
The SHPPS data collection will have significant implications for
policy and program development for school health programs nationwide.
The results will be used by Federal agencies, state and local education
and health agencies, the private sector, and others to support school
health programs; monitor progress toward achieving health and education
goals and objectives; develop educational programs, demonstration
efforts, and professional education/training; and initiate other
relevant research initiatives to contribute to the reduction of health
risk behaviors among our nation's youth. SHPPS data also will be used
to provide measures for 14 Healthy People 2020 national health
objectives. No other national source of data exists for these
objectives. The data also will have significant implications for policy
and program development for school health programs nationwide. The
combined total burden hours estimated for the 2014 and 2016 SHPPS and
associated support activities are 9,722.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
