UTHealth School of Public Health is conducting a study to see how well iCHAMPSS helps schools start, use, and maintain effective sexual health programs. The study will evaluate how this tool supports schools in teaching sexual health education.

What is iCHAMPSS?

iCHAMPSS is a free, online tool that helps schools adopt and maintain sexual health programs. It offers more than 60 resources, such as guides, tips, and templates, to make the process easier for schools.

How does the study work?

Participating school districts will be randomly assigned to start using iCHAMPSS in either the Fall or Spring during the first two years of the study (2025-2026 and 2026-2027). All districts will have iCHAMPSS by the end of the second year.

A District Coordinator, identified by the district, will be asked to complete confidential surveys: one at the start of year and a follow-up survey at the end of each semester. Each survey will take about 15-20 minutes and can be completed at your convenience on any device with internet access. 

You will be compensated for completing each survey.

Join School Social Worker and Doctoral Student, Jennalyn Suda, LMSW, for an insightful webinar, "Puberty Education: Trauma-Informed Strategies for Supportive Conversations."

In this session, Jennalyn will explore the key components of puberty education, highlight how it differs from sex education, and offer practical strategies for creating supportive environments when discussing puberty with students.

Your support is essential in gathering feedback to help shape the future of sexual health education for young people in Texas. Thank you!
