| This session is designed to present important elements of school prevention programs including personnel, curricula, policies and environmental factors. The first presentation uses the RE-AIM framework to evaluate the effectiveness of 25 programs to promote healthy eating and activity behaviors. This can be useful to guide future interventions. The presentation will also focus on the strengths and weaknesses of the RE-AIM program evaluation framework. A community health assessment in a metropolitan area is discussed next. The assessment methodology will be discussed but the emphasis will be on the findings. Prevention services change as students age and schools are significant referral source for preventive health services are two of the findings. On site visits to 62 schools in Connecticut were conducted to identify school nutrition and physical activity environments. Information obtained is useful for prioritizing changes and interventions to nutrition and physical activity environments to have greatest impact on student health. Also discussed in this session is the issue of privacy and confidentiality of student health information. Information on how to distinguish between situations that are regulated by FERPA, HIPAA or both will be useful for public health professionals who work with schools. In response to Act 1220 in Arkansas, individualized Child Health Reports (CHR) were delivered to parents in a confidential manner. This is thought to be an important element to improve student nutrition and physical activity. | |||
