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).

For further questions or assistance with completing this report,
please contact your CDC project officer.

GLOSSARY
Please refer to the following definitions when answering the questions.
ASSESSMENT – Measuring the learning and performance of students or teachers. Different types of
assessment instruments include achievement tests, minimum competency tests, developmental screening
tests, aptitude tests, observation instruments, performance tasks, and authentic assessments.
COLLABORATE – Two or more partners actively engage in planning, implementing, and evaluating
programs, practices, and policy activities with defined roles and responsibilities.
COORDINATED SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAM (CSHP) – A coordinated school health program is
a planned and organized set of courses, services, policies, and interventions designed to meet the health
and safety needs of K-12 students. Schools promote optimal physical, emotional, social, and educational
development of students by providing health education; physical education; health services; nutrition
services; counseling, psychological and social services; and a healthy and safe environment; and by
promoting parent/community involvement and staff wellness. A successful and well-coordinated school
health program is characterized by administrators, teachers, and school board members who view health
protection and promotion as an essential part of the school’s mission; a school health council comprised
of school, family, and community representatives to ensure a planning process for continuous
improvement; a school health coordinator responsible for organizing and managing the school health
program; and school staff who help plan and implement a full array of school health courses, services,
policies, and interventions.
COORDINATION – the regulation of diverse elements into an integrated and harmonious operation.
CSHP STATE-WIDE COALITION – A confederation of organizations with similar goals that agree to
work together toward a common goal. People who serve on coalitions, whether professional or volunteer,
have obligations to the organization they represent as well as to the coalition.
CURRICULUM – An educational plan incorporating a structured, developmentally appropriate series of
intended learning outcomes and associated learning experiences for students; generally organized as a
related combination or series of school-based materials, content, and events.
DEVELOPMENT – The process of bringing into being, making active, available, or effective, CSHP-related
materials, plans, policies, or activities.
DISTRIBUTE – Putting materials in the hands of appropriate personnel. Distribution may occur in
response to requests for materials or through proactive sharing of information.
ENVIRONMENTAL APPROACHES – Those policies and programs that are intended to affect
physical surroundings and the psychosocial climate and culture of the school. Environmental approaches
include policies, programs, and services that reinforce school health education and physical education
curricula as well as contribute to health outcomes for students and staff.
EVALUATION PLAN – A written evaluation plan may include process evaluation, to determine if
activities were as planned and how well they were conducted, as well as outcome evaluation, to determine
the impact of an activity or program on program objectives.
EXTERNAL AGENCY PARTNERS – Agencies, organizations, and groups outside your own agency
with which you collaborate or associate to further the goals of your CSHP project.

41

FISCAL YEAR 2008 SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAM INDICATORS

FISCAL YEAR (FY) – March 1, 2008 to February 28, 2009, the budget period for the cooperative
agreement.
FOLLOW-UP SUPPORT – Assistance provided to enhance participants’ abilities to use skills, tools and
techniques learned through professional development offerings. Follow-up support leads to a more
significant outcome than training alone by addressing challenges and sharing successes through a variety
of media (e.g., e-mail, conference calls, webcasts, site visits).
FORMATIVE EVALUATION – Gathering information during the early stages of your project or
program, with a focus on finding out whether your efforts are unfolding as planned, uncovering any
obstacles or unexpected opportunities that may have emerged, and identifying adjustments and
corrections to your program.
FRAMEWORK – An outline or plan that presents both the content (e.g., important concepts, skills, and
generalizations) and the process for developing curricula, instruction, and assessment.
GUIDANCE – A set of strategies that apply frameworks to develop policies, curricula, instruction, and
assessment.
HEALTH EDUCATION – Includes planned sequential materials, instructions, and educational
experiences delivered in the classroom setting that provide students with opportunities to acquire the
knowledge and skills necessary for making health promoting decisions and achieving health literacy.
Quality health education is based on sound theories of development and behavior change or empirically
supportive practices that result in increased knowledge and positive behavior change.
HEALTH EDUCATION CURRICULUM ANALYSIS TOOL (HECAT) – An assessment tool for
examining school health education curricula to determine how closely they align with the National Health
Education Standards and CDC’s Characteristics of Effective Health Education Curricula. The HECAT
helps school districts conduct a clear, complete, and consistent analysis of health education curricula. The
HECAT results can help schools select or develop appropriate and effective health education curricula
and improve the delivery of health education.
HEALTHY EATING – Eating behaviors that promote health, growth, and intellectual development;
prevent immediate nutrition-related health problems; and reduce risks for long-term chronic diseases (e.g.,
coronary heart disease, cancer, and stroke). Healthy eating behaviors include a diet consistent with
recommendations from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans http://www.health.gov/dietaryguidelines/.
HEALTHY SCHOOL REPORT CARD – The Healthy School Report Card (HSRC) is an ASCD
Action Tool. This research-based tool was developed to help schools engage stakeholders from the school
and community in the assessment of their school environment for inclusion in the school improvement
process. The strategies contained in this tool are taken from evidence and best-practices. It can help reveal
any high quality programming that is occurring and identify areas that need improvement. Additional
information about the Healthy School Report Card is available at
http://www.healthyschoolcommunities.org/HSRC/pages/reportcard/reportcardlogin.aspx.
IMPLEMENTATION – To put into effect or accomplish plans, policies, or activities related to CSHP projects.

42

COORDINATED SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAMS, STATE EDUCATION AGENCIES

INFORMATION SESSION – Workshop, presentation or other instructional activities delivered in a
short period of time taking at least 30 minutes and no more than 3 hours that focuses on a specific public
health, curricular or coordinated school health program topic. Information sessions are tailored to specific
audiences such as school administration, faculty, education and health professionals, adolescents, parents,
college students, legislators or community groups.
LOGIC MODEL – A logic model is a pictorial diagram that shows the relationship between your
program components and activities and desired health outcomes. A logic model is a planning tool that
might describe your entire program or a particular program objective or initiative. Interactive tutorials on
logic models are available at: http://www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth/evaluation/resources.htm.
MATERIALS – Resources including written materials (e.g., curricula, training materials, and
pamphlets); audio visual materials (e.g., motion pictures and video tapes); pictorials (e.g., posters and
similar educational materials using photographs, slides, drawings, or paintings); and electronic resources
(e.g., Web sites, PDF files, and PowerPoint files).
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU) – An agreement between agencies specifying the process
or procedures for collaborative development of CSHP infrastructure. May also be called a Memorandum of
Agreement.
MODEL POLICY – Model policies provide a framework to assist school officials in developing their own state
or local policies. They are written as statements of best practice which can be adapted to fit local circumstances.
Model policies reflect state-of-the-art, scientifically reliable information on what constitutes effective school
health programs and the expert opinions of many reviewers. Included in model policies are excerpts or references
to actual national, state, and local policies; a purpose or goals; rationale; and definitions.
MODEL PROGRAM – A packaged, promising, evidence-based or science-based program that results in
positive outcomes.
NUMBER OF DISTRICTS REACHED DIRECTLY – A district is reached directly when one or more
district level staff receives materials, training, or assistance from personnel funded by your CSHP project.
Each district reached is counted only once as being reached for a particular topic regardless of the number
of district staff from that district are reached or the number of times district staff are reached.
NUMBER OF EXTERNAL AGENCY PARTNERS REACHED DIRECTLY – An external partner is
reached directly when one or more external partner’s staff receives materials, training, or assistance from
personnel funded by your CSHP project. Each external partner reached is counted only once as being
reached for a particular topic regardless of the number of external partner staff from that external partner
are reached or the number of times external partner staff are reached.
NUMBER OF REGIONAL SUPPORT UNITS REACHED DIRECTLY – A regional support unit is
reached directly when one or more regional support unit staff receives materials, training, or assistance
from personnel funded by your CSHP project. Each regional support unit reached is counted only once
as being reached for a particular topic regardless of the number of regional support unit staff from that
regional support unit are reached or the number of times regional support unit staff are reached.
NUMBER OF SCHOOLS REACHED DIRECTLY – A school is reached directly when one or more
school staff receives materials, training, or assistance from personnel funded by your CSHP project. Each
school reached is counted only once as being reached for a particular topic regardless of the number of
school staff from that school are reached or the number of times school staff are reached.
NUTRITION – The science or practice of taking in and utilizing foods.

43

FISCAL YEAR 2008 SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAM INDICATORS

OUTCOME EVALUATION – Evaluation undertaken to determine if the changes ascribed to a program (e.g.,
changes in systems, collaborations, policies, or knowledge, attitudes, or behavior among administrators, teachers,
school staff, community members, or youth) are associated with program activities.
PARTNERSHIP PLAN – Jointly prepared plans between the state education agency and the state health agency
for coordinating administrative responsibilities, establishing reciprocal roles, and complementing school and
youth-related health programs across the two agencies.

educational materials to school districts and schools within the state.
SCHOOL – A division of the public school system consisting of students in one or more grades or other
identifiable groups organized to give instruction of a defined type. One school may share a building with
another school or one school may be housed in several buildings. Each school usually has an
identification number assigned by the state department of education for tracking purposes. Public schools
include charter schools, magnet schools, vocational schools, and alternative schools.
SCHOOL DISTRICT – An education agency at the local level that exists primarily to operate public
schools or to contract for public school services. Synonyms include local basic administrative unit, local
education agency, parish, independent school districts, etc.
SCHOOL HEALTH COORDINATOR – The professional at the district or school level who is responsible for
the management and the coordination of all school health policies, activities, and resources.
SCHOOL HEALTH COUNCIL – A school health council (SHC) guides school programming and enables
collaborations between the school and the community to improve students' health and learning. Ideally, the
council is comprised of representatives from each of the eight components of a coordinated school health
program, as well as parents, students, and other community representatives involved in the health and well-being
of students. SHCs establish goals for the school health program and specific priority health issues; facilitate health
programming and services in the school and between the school and community; and advocate for effective health
policies, programs, and services.
SCHOOL HEALTH INDEX – The School Health Index is a self-assessment and planning tool that
enables those who use it to identify the strengths and weaknesses of school health promotion policies and
programs; develop an action plan for improving student health; and involve teachers, parents, students,
and the community in improving school policies and programs. More information on the School Health
Index is available at: http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/shi.

SCHOOL LEVEL IMPACT MEASURES – The purpose of the School Level Impact Measures
(SLIMs) is to provide education agencies with a common set of measures for reporting progress on the
implementation of CDC recommended practices and programs.
SERVING PRIMARILY – Agencies whose main focus is on providing services tailored to a specific,
identifiable population (e.g., by race, gender, etc.) or increasing the ability of others to provide services to
that population.
SMART OBJECTIVES – Objectives are statements that describe program results to be achieved and
how they will be achieved. Specific objectives include who will be targeted and what will be
accomplished. Measurable objectives include how much change is expected, specifically enough that
achievement of the objective can be measured through counting or documenting change. Achievable
objectives can be realistically accomplished given your program’s existing resources and constraints.
Realistic objectives address the scope of the health problem and propose reasonable programmatic steps.
Time-phased objectives provide a timeline indicating when the objective will be met.
SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON – Programs or activities that are tailored to a particular, identifiable
population (e.g., by race, gender, etc.) or activities to increase the ability of others to provide such
services or activities.
STANDARDS – An established set of written expectations that describe what a student should know
(knowledge) and be able to do (skills) as a result of the instruction provided for a particular subject
(content area). Standards provide a framework for curriculum development and selection, instruction, and
assessment.
• Health Education Standards are written expectations for what students should know and be
able to do by grades 2, 5, 8, and 12 to promote personal, family, and community health. An
abbreviated version of the National Health Education Standards, Second Edition and Performance
Indicators for specific grade level groupings can be found at
http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/sher/standards.
• Physical Education Standards are written expectations for what students should know and be
able to do by grades 2, 5, 8, and 12 as a result of a quality physical education program. An
abbreviated version of the National Standards for Physical Education, Second Edition, can be
found at http://www.aahperd.org/naspe/publications-nationalstandards.html.
STATE EDUCATION AGENCY (SEA) – The department of state or territorial government responsible for
public education policy, funding, monitoring, and training within that state or territory.
STATE HEALTH AGENCY (SHA) – The department of state or territorial government responsible for public
health policy, funding, monitoring, and training within that state or territory.
STRATEGIC PLAN – A program planning tool that provides a blueprint to strengthen program
activities, address areas for improvement, and move the program forward to new accomplishments.
SUCCESS STORIES – A narrative highlighting the achievements and progress of a program or

activity.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE – Tailored guidance to meet the specific needs of a site or sites through
collaborative communication between a specialist and the site(s). Assistance takes into account sitespecific circumstances and culture and can be provided through phone, mail, e-mail, Internet, or in-person
meetings.

TOBACCO USE – May be defined as the consumption of tobacco or tobacco-related products. Tobacco
is predominantly consumed by inhalation of the smoke produced by items such as cigarettes, cigars,
cigarillos, pipes, bidis, and kreteks. It is also consumed in the form of smokeless tobacco products, such
as snuff or chewing tobacco. This smokeless consumption may occur by directly inhaling a prepared
tobacco leaf product into the nostrils, or by sucking and/or chewing a prepared tobacco leaf product.
TOBACCO-USE PREVENTION – Interventions that prevent or delay the initiation of tobacco use or
reduce the prevalence of tobacco use, including tobacco-use cessation. Interventions may target
individuals or groups of youth, in terms of policy and/or environmental changes and may occur in schools
or in partnership with community organizations. Tobacco-use prevention efforts may include activities
designed to eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke.
UNHEALTHY DIETARY PATTERNS – Eating behaviors characterized by food intake that is
typically high in fat, low in fiber, and low in fruits and vegetables, and are associated with increased risks
for long-term chronic diseases (e.g., coronary heart disease, cancer, and stroke).
YOUTH AT DISPROPORTIONATE RISK FOR CHRONIC DISEASE – Populations of youth for
whom the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and burden of chronic disease and other related adverse health
conditions, many of which result from health-related behaviors that are established during childhood and
adolescence, are greater than in a comparison population. Populations can be defined by race or ethnicity,
gender, education or income, disability, geographic location (i.e., rural or urban), or sexual orientation.
