Healthy KidsIndiana 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 Indiana HIV prevention education program is to improve the delivery, effectiveness, and sustainability of HIV/STD and unintended pregnancy prevention education for school age youth.

Indiana's Program In Action

Providing HIV Prevention Education

  • Providing training, resources, and technical assistance for staff working in schools that serve a high number of youth at disproportionate risk for HIV and STDs to increase their capacity to implement HIV prevention education that is culturally appropriate, medically accurate, and aligned to Indiana’s health education standards.
     
  • Partnering with the Social Health Association of Indiana to conduct HIV prevention education workshops for parents.
     
  • Expanding the capacity of the HIV prevention training cadre by providing training enrichment opportunities, resources, and information updates.

Conducting the Youth Risk Behavior Survey

  • Collaborating with the Indiana Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Program to jointly administer the YRBS and the Youth Tobacco Survey to students in grades 9-12.
     
  • Developing fact sheets and electronic resources to communicate the results of the YRBS.
     
  • Disseminating the results of the YRBS to schools, local health agencies, institutions of higher education, non-governmental agencies, and other stakeholders.
