Description:
The National Coalition of STD Directors (NCSD) in partnership with the Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH) of the CDC and other national partner organizations (NASTAD, AMCHP, and SSDHPER) has been involved in an on-going national initiative to improve HIV, STD, and unintended pregnancy prevention among school-aged youth by strengthening state health and education agency partnerships. A series of National Stakeholder Meetings (NSM) were conducted from 2003-2007 with teams of state health agency representatives from MCAH, HIV/AIDS, STD, and state education agency representatives to explore common ground, identify current programming gaps, and to generate potential collaborative programming solutions.
