California’s
Coordinated School Health Program (CSHP) is a collaborative effort between
the California Department of Education and Department of Public Health. The
CSHP works with schools, school districts, county offices of education,
local health departments, governmental agencies, and professional
organizations to improve the health and academic success of California’s
children through implementation of the CSHP model. California receives
funding from CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health to promote
coordinated school health, provide HIV prevention education, and conduct the
Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS).
