The Division of Adolescent and School Health is pleased to announce the release of the new, interactive online version of the School Health Index: A Self-Assessment and Planning Guide (SHI), on the DASH Healthy Youth Web site at http://www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth/SHI.

- Print summary reports of your modules.
- Enter, edit, and print your plans for improvement.
- Archive older versions.
- And much more!
