An operational definition could not be specified at the time of publication. The proposed national data source is the School Health Policies and Programs Study (SHPPS), CDC, NCCDPHP.
The expected numerator is the number of schools that require students to wear appropriate protective gear when engaged in physical activities during physical education, intramural activities, physical activity clubs, and interscholastic sports. The expected denominator is the number of schools with intramural activities or physical activity clubs and interscholastic sports.
The expected questions to be used to obtain data from the 2000 School Health Policies and Programs Study, Physical Education Questionnaire follow:
Ø Must students wear appropriate protective gear when engaged in physical activities during physical education?
Ø Must students wear appropriate protective gear when engaged in intramural activities or physical activity clubs?
Ø Must students wear appropriate protective gear when engaged in interscholastic sports?
This objective is adapted from Healthy People 2000 objective 9.19 (also 13.16), which was tracked with proxy data from the National Healthy Interview Survey (NHIS), CDC, NCHS.
