ABSTRACT:Given the increasing prevalence of schoolchildren's experience with crises and resulting loss through sudden or violent death, adoption of a school‐based crisis prevention and response plan becomes crucial. This article reviews a model of regional, district, and school‐based levels of response designed collaboratively by four school districts and consultants from Yale University. The team approach on which the model is based is examined through benefits it affords students, staff, parents, and the community. Obstacles that can impede full implementation of the model are identified, and strategies for overcoming logistical and systemic resistances are offered. This proactive design helps promote individual and organizational resiliency to traumatic events by promoting communication, collaboration, and service provision in an efficient and comprehensive man

摘要:

ABSTRACT:The Claxton Elementary School Health Program was developed to improve the health of a school community in a western North Carolina city of 60,000. Using the principles of Community‐Oriented Primary Care (COPC) in fall 1991, a health advisory board composed of interested parents, teachers, and physicians was organized. A comprehensive needs assessment was implemented, including focus groups with teachers and parents, a self‐administered health behavior survey for children in grades three‐five, and a self‐administered survey of parents' health problems. Teachers, children, and parents agreed on perceived problems requiring attention. The Board then prioritized health problems, selecting nutrition and self‐concept as the most critical areas in which to develop programs. Using target population members to identify needs can be a valuable approach to the development of community‐based programs for improving children's healt

摘要:

ABSTRACT:This study explored stages of alcohol acquisition and risk factors associated with stages based on the Multi‐Component Motivational Stages model. Two hundred fifty‐four sixth‐eighth grade students from an urban school completed a confidential questionnaire. Most students were in a precontemplation stage (86%), preparation stage (6%), or action stage (5%) for alcohol use. Significant differences were found across stage status on 11 of 22 risk factors. Discriminant analysis results indicated alcohol use, perceived prevalence of alcohol consumption, and intentions to drink in the future successfully discriminated youth in action and preparation stages from those in precontemplation and contemplation stages. Meanwhile, tobacco use discriminated students in preparation and action stages. Multiple regression analysis showed alcohol use was the most powerful predictor of acquisition stage status, followed by intentions, influenceability, and perceived severity of alcohol use. Implications for school‐aged youth alcohol use prevention are di

摘要:

ABSTRACT:The ability to use administrative databases to identify elementary schools at risk for high percentages of school absence may prove useful in targeting elementary schools to receive absence reduction interventions. This report demonstrates an analysis method using easting administrative data for generating relative risks. Taking advantage of administrative databases can save resources and assist efforts in developing ways to reduce elementary school absence.
