Abstract

Three areas of school-based health promotion and disease prevention will be described in this chapter, including school-based intervention research, comprehensive school health programs, and school-based health clinics. School-based intervention research is the process of developing and evaluating interventions that are delivered in the schools and designed to modify a specific set of health behaviors. Comprehensive school health programs involve the implementation of eight objectives for school health education. These objectives impact health education curricula, as well as school health policy, staff wellness, and staff training for health education. School-based health clinics involve the delivery of health services and prevention activities directly to children through clinics in the schools.
