Summary

This comprehensive introduction to the components of successful school health programs emphasizes the between school health and community health, and the importance of evidence-based policy in strategies that strengthen children's health and their academic well-being. This book tackles critically pressing topics such as developing organizational and financing options for school-based prevention and service programs; increasing access to dental and mental health services through school-based health centers; linking school and community-based health programs; and integrating in-school systems of care for special needs students with those available to the general student population.
