This report presents findings from a study of the implementation of an enhanced version of HealthTeacher, an online health education curriculum, in Chicago Public Schools in 2011. Teachers of 7th-grade students implemented the family health and sexuality module of HealthTeacher in nine schools. The study found that, despite some challenges, the curriculum was a good fit for Chicago Public Schools and was implemented with high fidelity.
