The
Baltimore City Public School System (BCPSS) in Maryland 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 BCPSS HIV/AIDS prevention education project are to develop
HIV/AIDS education policy and curricula, provide professional development
for instructional staff, and evaluate the program to ensure effectiveness.
