Ohio’s
Coordinated School Health Program (CSHP) is a collaborative effort between
the Ohio Department of Education and the Ohio Department of Health. Ohio
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). The overarching goal for the
Ohio CSHP is to build a state-level infrastructure that encompasses
inter-agency leadership, policy coordination, and technical assistance to
support the implementation of CSHPs and the promotion of physical activity,
healthy eating, and tobacco-use prevention in school districts and schools.Ohio's Program In Action

- Establishing a state-level, inter-agency leadership team to align
efforts, maximize resources, and avoid duplication in support of CSHPs.
- Conducting a comprehensive assessment of existing data, policies,
programs, and practices that support CSH to allow for services to be
integrated, duplications to be minimized, and resources to be maximized.
- Developing and disseminating model policies, policy guidance, and
relevant policy materials addressing PANT to school districts and
schools.
- Distributing curricular standards, instructional strategies, and
tools that promote PANT to districts and schools.

community partners to increase knowledge and skills needed to implement
effective policies, programs, and practices aimed at promoting physical
activity, healthy eating, and tobacco-use prevention.

strategic plan to guide all future programmatic efforts.

prevention education program planning and implementation, including use
of curricula and HIV prevention education resources.
Conducting the Youth Risk Behavior Survey
- Administering the YRBS in Ohio high schools, through a collaborative
effort between Ohio’s Department of Health and Department of Education,
to obtain data representative of students in grades 9-12.
- Conducting site visits with school administrators to discuss the
process for collecting YRBS data and the importance of using the data to
