Schools that support healthy choices help students achieve their academic potential. The HSAT include the HSAT Assessment, the HSAT Action Plan as well as tools to help schools share their successes. The HSAT Assessment enables schools to assess their school environment in the following topic areas: asthma management, healthy eating & nutrition, physical education & physical activity, tobacco-free lifestyles, and violence and injury prevention. Schools can choose one, several or all topic areas to assess in any one assessment. Click here for description of each topic area. Regardless of topic select, the assessment will include cross-cutting questions which are questions that apply to the school’s health environment as a whole and/or are relevant to more than one topic area.
