Abstract
An excess burden of disease and disability exists among minority populations in the United States. Health promotion strategies can be designed and implemented in a variety of settings to address the priority health needs of minorities and, in turn, contribute to the reduction of this burden. School-based health promotion presents an excellent opportunity for reaching minority and non-minority children and youth who are at risk for disease and disability due to lifestyle behaviors.
