NASBE's School Health Policy Database (the Database) is a comprehensive source of information about individual states’ policies on over 40 different topics relating to key areas of school health. Originally begun in 1998, it was designed to build upon the 2000 School Health Policies and Programs Study (SHPPS), conducted by the CDC's Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH). While SHPPS collects state policy information by means of survey questionnaires, the purpose of the Database is to gather actual written state policies in key areas of school health policy. Since its inception, NASBE has continued to expand the topics and subtopics covered in the Database.
