About this trial

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of iCHAMPSS 2.0 in impacting Reach Effectiveness Adoption Implementation Maintenance (RE-AIM) implementation outcomes, with implementation of a sexual health evidence-based program (EBP) assess iCHAMPSS 2.0's efficacy in impacting determinants of sexual health EBP implementation and to conduct a process evaluation to monitor iCHAMPSS 2.0 implementation, reach, dosage, and barriers and facilitators to implementing iCHAMPSS 2.0 during the study.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • iCHAMPSS 2.0

    Behavioral

    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)
