Promoting Adolescent Health Through School-Based HIV-STD Prevention and School-Based Surveillance

The HIV/STI Prevention Initiative aims to improve student health and academic achievement through reduction of HIV/STI health disparities. The HIV/STI Prevention Initiative has four goals: (1) to increase access to exemplary sexual health education (“ESHE”) and sexual health related services (“SHS”), (2) to create safe and supportive environments (“SSE”), (3) to raise policy awareness, and (4) to promote the sexual health education policy and related local and state policies that support STI/HIV prevention in Chicago.
