Providing HIV Prevention Education

• Providing training and technical assistance for teachers in evidence-based approaches to HIV prevention with an emphasis on school districts where data have indicated a lack of HIV prevention education.
   
• Partnering with the Nevada Area Health Education Center to work with Hispanic/Latino parents across the state to encourage parent-child communication and parental involvement in HIV prevention education in the home.
   
• Developing a policy to ensure that HIV/AIDS prevention instruction is provided to students as required by Nevada Statue NRS. 389.065.

Conducting the Youth Risk Behavior Survey

• Administering the YRBS to collect youth risk behavior data that are representative of Nevada students in grades 6−12.
   
• Analyzing YRBS data and compiling, publishing, and distributing YRBS data summaries.
   
• Educating local decision makers on how to use YRBS data to inform program planning.
