Coordinated School Health Program nomination request
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH) is looking for strong district-level coordinated school health programs (CSHP). DASH wants to understand the essential characteristics necessary for CSHP program success. To that end, DASH will be conducting site visits with selected CSHPs to learn more about them. DASH may also offer technical assistance to evaluate these programs based on these site visits.
Action for Healthy Kids needs YOU to identify school districts with strong coordinated school health programs. A coordinated school health program brings together school administrators, teachers, other staff, students, families, and community members to assess health needs; set priorities; and plan, implement, and evaluate school health program activities. A CSHP integrates efforts across eight interrelated components: health education, health services, nutrition services, health promotion for school staff, physical education, mental health and social services, healthy and safe school environments, and family and community involvement.
Submit nominations to Seraphine Pitt Barnes, Ph.D. The submission deadline is Friday, October 31, 2008. The nomination should include the school district, where it is located (city, state), an individual’s contact information at the district, and a description of the district’s coordinated school health program. The description of the program should include program goals and objectives; method of coordinating multiple initiatives; whether or not the district has a school health coordinator, a school health council, and a dedicated budget; and, finally, whether the school district is monitoring the implementation of the program.
Click here to view the nomination form. If you would like additional information on this project, please contact Seraphine Pitt Barnes, Ph.D. by e-mail or phone 770-488-6115. The fax number is 770-488-6156.
Thanks for your help on this important project!
