Details:
Schools are an ideal setting to foster healthy behaviors and to prevent and buffer the impact of adverse experiences. This NOFO aims to improve the health and well-being of youth by supporting local education agencies in implementing CDC’s What Works in Schools program, and collecting and using school-based surveillance data. The What Works in Schools program is a proven approach that builds schools’ capacity to:
- Provide quality health education
- Connect students to health services, including mental and behavioral health services
- Create safe and supportive environments
The program strategies have been linked to reductions in sexual risk behaviors, experiences of violence, and substance use, and improvements in mental health for students.
