Healthy KidsThe Kansas HIV Prevention Education Program maintains a collaborative relationship with the state and local health departments, local school districts, colleges and universities, community-based organizations, and other partners to ensure that effective HIV/AIDS prevention education is provided to Kansas’ youth. Kansas receives funding from CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health to provide HIV prevention education, and conduct the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS).
