Healthy KidsThe Guam Public School System receives funding from CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health to provide HIV prevention education and conduct the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). The goal of the Guam Public School System’s HIV prevention program is to increase the knowledge and skills of school-age youth and empower them to prevent HIV, STDs, and unintended pregnancy.

Guam's Program In Action

Providing HIV Prevention Education

  • Developing a coalition with representatives from the Guam Parent Teacher Association Congress, the University of Guam Cooperative Extension Service, the media, faith-based organizations, and other community organizations to inform HIV prevention education programs and provide community support.
     
  • Collaborating with the University of Guam to provide year-round professional development to classroom teachers, guidance counselors, and public agency health educators to improve their knowledge and skills in providing HIV prevention education.
     
  • Working with the existing Comprehensive School Health Education Program to assure that HIV prevention education is delivered within a coordinated school health program.

Conducting the Youth Risk Behavior Survey

  • Administering the YRBS to collect health risk behavior data that are representative of Guam students in grades 9–12.
     
  • Publishing the YRBS results and using them to guide program planning.
     
  • Developing classroom activities that are guided by and focused on the results of the YRBS.
