- Description
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention contemplates awarding a contract for technical assistance to selected state and local education and health agencies to help those sites establish, maintain, and report on a complex system of surveys, including the Youth Risk Behavior Surveys (YRBS) and the School Health Education Profiles (Profiles). The contractor will be required to provide technical assistance to as many as 51 states (including the District of Columbia), approximately 20 large cities, and 7 U.S. territories to implement these survey programs. The YRBS will be implemented among representative samples of 9th through 12th grade high school students, middle school students, and special populations of students usually during the Spring of 2003, 2005, and 2007. The Profiles will be implemented among representative samples of middle/junior and senior high school principals and lead health education teachers usually during the Spring of 2004, 2006, and 2008. The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System monitors six categories of behaviors: 1) behaviors that contribute to unintentional injury and violence; 2) tobacco use; 3) alcohol and other drug use; 4) sexual behaviors that contribute to unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV infection; 5) dietary behaviors; and 6) physical inactivity. The School Health Education Profiles monitors school health policies and programs related to required health education, tobacco use prevention, HIV prevention, physical education, nutrition, violence, asthma, and staff development.
