ArmDescriptionAssigned Intervention
Experimental
Arm 1: 1 semester of implementation then 7 semesters of intervention
  • Behavioral: iCHAMPSS 2.0
    iCHAMPSS 2.0 is designed for Program Champions, critical to EBP use, such as district and school administrators, SHAC members (which include parents), and health and physical education teachers, who are highly motivated to promote sexual health education. iCHAMPSS 2.0 has four features: 1. the CHAMPSS Model tutorial, which familiarizes Champions with the iCHAMPSS 2.0 system 2. a Staging Tool, which helps Champions understand their school's level of readiness to adopt, implement, and maintain a sexual health EBP, and can tailor their experience 3. a tools library, which includes a suite of over 60 decision support tools 4. an interactive linkage system, which is an online platform to help Champions connect with others and to receive technical assistance (TA)
