| School based health centers have the potential to impact student health status. They provide physical and mental health service to children and adolescents in 44 states. The SBHC Outcomes study was a three long study to evaluate the health care utilization and costs to students in SBHC. A nationwide survey of state agencies was conducted to identify state support for SBHC and future growth of the SBHC model. Further investigation of school based health services is presented with data from a national sample of school nurses. These data describe the work environment of school nurses, useful for identifying best practices and a safe environment. An example of services targeted to a specific health need of students is presented with the consulting physician model used to enhance school health services for children with asthma. | |||
