School Health Profiles
The School Health Profile (SHP), developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is a survey of the status of health education as reported by middle and high school principals and lead health education teachers. The SHP has been administered in Tennessee schools in 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006.
The survey data helps the State Department of Education to develop programs, allocate resources, and provide staff development opportunities for teachers. The SHP monitors the current status of:
- School health education requirements and content
- Physical education requirements
- Asthma management activities
- Food service
- Competitive foods practices and policies
- Family and community involvement in school health programs
- School health policies related to HIV/AIDS, tobacco use prevention, violence prevention and physical activity
