This evaluation report examines the AIDS Risk Reduction through Education and Staff Training Program (ARREST), which addressed the increasing needs of Philadelphia’s culturally diverse adolescent population by providing HIV/STI (Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Sexually Transmitted Infection) prevention and health education throughout the School District of Philadelphia, targeting students from kindergarten to 12th grade.

Data collection for the evaluation included professional development observations, school visits, site visits to Health Resource Centers (HRC), observation of World AIDS Day, teacher surveys, and documents review. The evaluation focused on how the program affected health education in the District and how students were affected by program activities.
