Healthy KidsThe Montana Department of Education 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 goals of the Montana HIV/AIDS Prevention Education Program are to strengthen the capacity of local education agencies to implement effective HIV prevention education programs and policies, and to collaborate to address the needs of at-risk youth, particularly Native American youth.

Montana's Program In Action

Providing HIV Prevention Education

  • Providing training and technical assistance on HIV prevention education and HIV-related policies to teachers and school support staff through a cadre of trainers.
     
  • Collaborating with the juvenile justice system, the Indian Health Service, and agencies serving out-of school youth to support the delivery of HIV prevention education to youth at disproportionate risk.
     
  • Providing mini-grants to teams of high school students to develop their leadership and data-interpretation skills and prepare them to educate local decision-makers regarding the need for effective HIV prevention education.

Conducting the Youth Risk Behavior Survey

  • Administering the YRBS to collect data on youth risk behaviors that are representative of middle and high school students in Montana.
     
  • Providing technical assistance to support local YRBS coordinators in reporting data in their respective communities.
     
  • Disseminating YRBS results through brochures, fact sheets, oral presentations and the Web site.
