Background

There is a large body of research suggesting the role of school-based health centers (SBHCs) in improving outcomes for children with asthma, but there are no evidence-based guidelines for the care of children with asthma in SBHCs. We conducted a randomized trial to assess screening in children with asthma in an urban SBHC.

Methods

Participants were screened for asthma triggers. The intervention group received home assessments and medical legal partnership (MLP) referrals as indicated. The primary outcome of asthma severity was assessed using the asthma control test (ACT). All participants completed semi-structured interviews to evaluate their experience.

Results

All families randomized to intervention qualified for and completed home remediation. There were no statistically significant differences in asthma severity. There was 100% retention of participants, and all participants rated their experience as good or excellent.

Implications for School Health Policy, Practice and Equity

This study demonstrates a high prevalence of home-based asthma triggers for children with asthma who receive care in SBHCs. Although not large enough to demonstrate significance in primary outcomes, participants were successfully recruited from a diverse population and retained through completion of the study. Participants rated their experience as good or excellent, suggesting that the recruitment and retention of diverse participants for clinical trials in SBHCs can be successful.

Conclusions

Home-based asthma triggers for children with asthma who receive care in SBHCs are prevalent. Although complex collaborations are required, SBHCs are a viable site for clinical trials. More research is needed to understand the benefit of interventions in SBHCs to reduce asthma severity.

背景:大量研究表明学校卫生中心(shbhcs)在改善哮喘儿童预后方面的作用,但没有基于证据的shbhcs哮喘儿童护理指南。我们进行了一项随机试验,以评估在城市儿童健康中心筛查哮喘儿童的情况。方法:对参与者进行哮喘诱发因素筛查。干预组接受了家庭评估和医疗法律伙伴关系(MLP)转介。使用哮喘控制试验(ACT)评估哮喘严重程度的主要结局。所有参与者都完成了半结构化的访谈,以评估他们的经历。结果:所有被随机分配到干预组的家庭均符合并完成了家庭修复。两组哮喘严重程度差异无统计学意义。参与者的留存率为100%,所有参与者都将自己的体验评为“好”或“优秀”。对学校卫生政策、实践和公平的影响:本研究表明,在shbhcs接受治疗的哮喘儿童中,家庭哮喘触发器的患病率很高。虽然没有大到足以证明主要结果的重要性,但成功地从不同的人群中招募了参与者,并在研究完成时保留了参与者。参与者将他们的经验评为“好”或“优秀”,这表明在shbhc中招募和保留不同的参与者进行临床试验是可以成功的。结论:在shbhcs接受治疗的哮喘儿童中,家庭哮喘触发因素很普遍。虽然需要复杂的合作,但shhc是临床试验的可行场所。需要更多的研究来了解对shbhcs进行干预以降低哮喘严重程度的益处。

Background

School meals were served free of charge to all public school students in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic, but some students still did not participate.

Methods

In this mixed-methods study, surveys and interviews were conducted with food service directors (FSDs) from California (n = 556 surveys; n = 29 interviews) and Maine (n = 43 surveys; n = 20 interviews) during spring 2022. Survey data was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression models, and interview data was analyzed using the immersion/crystallization approach.

Results

Students' preference to eat meals from home or elsewhere (81.5%) and negative perceptions of the school food's taste (67%) were the most common barriers reported. Schools' prior community eligibility provision (CEP) participation and smaller student enrollment were associated with fewer reported barriers. Inadequate time to eat lunch and stigma were also reported as barriers to participation.

Implications for School Health Policy, Practice, and Equity

Investments are needed to help schools partner with students to optimize school meal experiences and to improve food taste. Policies that provide school meals free of charge for all students can also help reduce negative social barriers such as stigma.

Conclusions

Despite the provision of USM, barriers to participation remain. Policies to enhance meal quality and program implementation are needed.

背景:在新冠肺炎疫情期间,美国所有公立学校的学生都免费享用校餐,但仍有一些学生没有参加。方法:在这项混合方法研究中,对来自加利福尼亚州的食品服务主管(fsd)进行了调查和访谈(n = 556份调查;n = 29次访谈)和缅因州(n = 43次调查;N = 20次访谈)在2022年春季。调查数据采用多变量logistic回归模型进行分析,访谈数据采用浸没/结晶法进行分析。结果:学生更喜欢在家里或其他地方吃饭(81.5%)和对学校食物味道的负面看法(67%)是报告中最常见的障碍。学校先前的社区资格规定(CEP)参与和较小的学生入学率与较少的报告障碍有关。据报告,没有足够的时间吃午餐和耻辱也是参与的障碍。对学校卫生政策、实践和公平的影响:需要投资帮助学校与学生合作,优化学校膳食体验并改善食物味道。为所有学生提供免费校餐的政策也有助于减少负面的社会障碍,如耻辱。结论:尽管提供USM,但参与的障碍仍然存在。提高膳食质量的政策和项目的实施是必要的。

Background

Health policies are key social determinants of health, but may cause inequalities if their implementation does not match local needs and if resources are misallocated. This study tests the inverse prevention law on school tobacco policies, assessing inequity in their implementation and identifying contributing factors.

Methods

A student survey and a staff survey were conducted in 38 schools across six European cities in 2013 and 2016. We assessed tobacco policy and calculated policy-need ratios to measure how well schools implemented a policy in line with adolescent smoking. Gini coefficients of policy-need ratios were used as an inequity measure. We ran a penalized Lorenz regression to identify factors contributing to inequity and used the Shapley decomposition technique to decompose explained Gini coefficients.

Results

Gini coefficients were 8.8% in 2013 and 8.9% in 2016, indicating moderately inequitable implementation of school tobacco policies and limited change over time. Socio-economic characteristics and family/home environment contributed the most to these inequities.

Conclusions

In line with the inverse prevention law, stronger tobacco policies are not implemented in schools that most need them, and this persisted between 2013 and 2016. Policy-makers should prioritize equity in health policy implementation and devote more resources to contexts with greater need.

背景:卫生政策是健康的关键社会决定因素,但如果其执行不符合当地需求和资源分配不当,则可能造成不平等。本研究对学校烟草政策的反预防法进行了测试,评估了其实施中的不公平并确定了促成因素。方法:2013年和2016年在欧洲6个城市的38所学校进行了学生调查和教职员工调查。我们评估了烟草政策,并计算了政策需求比率,以衡量学校执行与青少年吸烟相关的政策的情况。政策需求比的基尼系数被用作不平等度量。我们使用惩罚洛伦兹回归来确定导致不平等的因素,并使用沙普利分解技术来分解解释基尼系数。结果:2013年和2016年的基尼系数分别为8.8%和8.9%,表明学校烟草政策的执行适度不公平,且随着时间的推移变化有限。社会经济特征和家庭/家庭环境是造成这些不平等的最主要原因。结论:根据反预防法,在最需要的学校没有实施更强有力的烟草政策,这种情况在2013年至2016年期间持续存在。决策者应优先考虑卫生政策执行的公平性,并将更多资源用于需求更大的地区。

Background

In August 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released guidance to prevent transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in K-12 education settings. Schools varied in the degree to which they were able to implement COVID-19 prevention strategies during the height of the pandemic.

Methods

An evaluation team conducted interviews with state education staff and focus groups with district and school staff over 2 years to explore contextual factors that influenced the implementation of CDC's recommended COVID-19 prevention strategies.

Results

Eight implementation drivers influenced COVID-19 response efforts in school settings, including COVID-19 guidance, political climate, communication challenges, state health and education agency support, partnerships, physical and financial resources, staffing, and student needs.

Implications for School Health Policy, Practice, and Equity

Evaluation results offer insights for future guidance and support for schools and educators as they continue efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases for safe in-person learning.

Conclusions

The authors describe key drivers and conditions that influenced, facilitated, and/or impeded schools' implementation of COVID-19 prevention strategies. Federal, state, district, and school leadership can use the results to bolster future emergency preparedness and response efforts to protect student and school employee health.

背景:2020年8月,美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)发布了在K-12教育环境中预防2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)传播的指南。在疫情最严重期间,学校实施COVID-19预防战略的程度各不相同。方法:评估小组对州教育工作人员进行访谈,并对学区和学校工作人员进行焦点小组访谈,为期2年,探讨影响疾病预防控制中心推荐的COVID-19预防策略实施的背景因素。结果:八个实施驱动因素影响了学校环境中的COVID-19应对工作,包括COVID-19指导、政治气候、沟通挑战、州卫生和教育机构支持、伙伴关系、物质和财政资源、人员配备以及学生需求。对学校卫生政策、实践和公平的影响:评估结果为学校和教育工作者继续努力防止COVID-19和其他传染病的传播,以实现安全的面对面学习,提供了未来指导和支持的见解。结论:作者描述了影响、促进和/或阻碍学校实施COVID-19预防战略的关键驱动因素和条件。联邦、州、地区和学校的领导可以利用这些结果来加强未来的应急准备和响应工作,以保护学生和学校员工的健康。

Background

Various psychosocial variables are critical predictors of students' recess experiences. It is still relatively unknown how self-perceptions of bullying and body size impact recess physical activity (PA) for certain groups of students. The purpose of this study was to examine group differences and relationships in levels of appearance-related victimization, physical self-perceptions, and attraction to PA at recess among various self-identified body-size and gender identity students.

Methods

Students in 3rd—5th grades (N = 787, 49.3% male, 56.1% regular body size, 46.4% 4th grade, 27.3% Hispanic) completed surveys that included demographics, one self-reported body size question, perceived victimization scale, physical appearance subscale of the Self-Perception Profile for Children, and the Children's Attraction to Physical Activity (CAPA) scale.

Results

Group difference analyses showed that gender nonconforming (p = 0.030, p < 0.001) and smaller body size students (p < 0.001, p = 0.001) had significantly lower perceptions of physical appearance and attraction to physical activity compared to their peers.

Implications for School Health Policy, Practice, and Equity

Students' gender identity and perceived body size are a meaningful focus of recess interventions.

Conclusions

Findings provide evidence that in addition to physical appearance perceptions, body size and gender may diminish students' attraction to PA.

背景:各种社会心理变量是学生休息体验的重要预测因子。对于某些群体的学生而言,欺凌和体型的自我认知如何影响课间体育活动(PA)仍然是相对未知的。本研究的目的是探讨不同体型和性别认同的学生在课间受外表伤害、身体自我知觉和受PA吸引的程度上的群体差异和相互关系。方法:3 -5年级学生787名,其中男性49.3%,正常体型56.1%,四年级46.4%,西班牙裔27.3%。调查内容包括人口统计学、一个自我报告体型问题、感知受害量表、儿童自我知觉概况外貌子量表和儿童对体育活动的吸引力量表。结果:群体差异分析显示,性别不符合(p = 0.030, p)对学校健康政策、实践和公平的影响:学生性别认同和感知体型是课间干预的重要关注点。结论:研究结果提供证据表明,除了外貌感知,体型和性别可能会降低学生对PA的吸引力。

Background

Researchers have documented that recess quality is critical to understanding outcomes, with supportive adults and positive peer interactions being critical components. The purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of students feeling unwelcome or uncomfortable during recess and to examine how perceptions of adult support impact those experiences.

Methods

A total of 483 elementary school students were surveyed at four time points across one school year. Students reported feelings of being unwelcome or uncomfortable at recess and their perceptions of adult support. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and longitudinal binary logistic regression to identify trends, demographic predictors, and the role of adult support.

Results

The percentage of students who reported feeling unwelcome or uncomfortable at recess decreased from 47.7% to 34.6%. Students who reported increased perceptions of adult support across the school year were 76.3% less likely to report feeling unwelcome or uncomfortable at the end of the year.

Implications for School Health Policy, Practice, and Equity

Schools should adopt policies and programs that prioritize intentional adult participation to foster inclusivity and improve recess quality.

Conclusion

Adult support plays a vital role in creating high-quality recess environments, including reducing students' feelings of being unwelcome or uncomfortable.

背景:研究人员已经证明,休息质量对理解结果至关重要,成年人的支持和积极的同伴互动是关键组成部分。本研究的目的是研究学生在课间休息时感到不受欢迎或不舒服的经历,并研究成人支持的感知如何影响这些经历。方法:在一学年的四个时间点对483名小学生进行问卷调查。学生们报告了课间休息时不受欢迎或不舒服的感觉,以及他们对成人支持的看法。使用描述性统计和纵向二元逻辑回归分析数据,以确定趋势、人口预测因素和成人支持的作用。结果:在课间休息时感到不受欢迎或不舒服的学生比例从47.7%下降到34.6%。在整个学年中,那些认为自己得到了更多成人支持的学生,在学年结束时感到不受欢迎或不舒服的可能性降低了76.3%。对学校健康政策、实践和公平的启示:学校应采取优先考虑成人有意参与的政策和计划,以促进包容性和提高课间休息质量。结论:成人的支持在创造高质量的休息环境中起着至关重要的作用,包括减少学生不受欢迎或不舒服的感觉。

“It's a Fine Line”: Parent and Educator Perceptions on the Effects of Adolescent Digital Media Use on Mental Health “这是一条细线”:家长和教育者对青少年数字媒体使用对心理健康影响的看法。
IF 1.8 4区 医学 Q2 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2025-06-05 DOI: 10.1111/josh.70028
Adam M. McCready, Katherine C. Rohn

Background

Parents and educators are concerned about adolescents' social media use and how it affects their mental health. It is unclear how these adults perceive how social media use affects adolescent mental health or view the role of schools in addressing these effects. We explored how adults define social media, perceive the effects of social media use on adolescents' mental health, and view the role of schools in addressing student social media use.

Methods

This study draws on a thematic analysis of 19 focus groups with 71 participants. Participants included parents, administrators, teachers, and health professionals of middle and high school students across four Connecticut school districts.

Results

Three themes emerged in the study: adults conflate student digital media and social media use, they view student social media use as a double-edged sword related to mental health, and student digital media use policies without multi-pronged educational interventions to promote digital citizenship will likely not change digital media habits.

Conclusions

Educators and researchers should consider reframing social media as digital media in interventions and research and developing or enhancing multi-pronged educational interventions to promote digital citizenship among students and adults.

背景:家长和教育工作者都很关注青少年的社交媒体使用以及它如何影响他们的心理健康。目前尚不清楚这些成年人如何看待社交媒体使用对青少年心理健康的影响,也不清楚学校在解决这些影响方面所扮演的角色。我们探讨了成年人如何定义社交媒体,感知社交媒体使用对青少年心理健康的影响,以及学校在解决学生社交媒体使用方面的作用。方法:本研究对19个焦点小组71名参与者进行了专题分析。参与者包括康涅狄格州四个学区的中学生的家长、管理人员、教师和卫生专业人员。结果:研究中出现了三个主题:成年人将学生数字媒体和社交媒体的使用混为一谈;他们将学生社交媒体的使用视为与心理健康相关的双刃剑;如果没有多管齐下的教育干预措施来促进数字公民,学生数字媒体的使用政策可能不会改变数字媒体的习惯。结论:教育工作者和研究人员应考虑在干预和研究中将社交媒体重新定义为数字媒体,并制定或加强多管齐下的教育干预措施,以促进学生和成年人的数字公民意识。

Background

While mask mandates are unlikely to return in the event of a major resurgence in COVID-19 or another major respiratory disease surge, voluntary masking still shows promise. This ethnographic study seeks to understand the masking decision-making processes of parents and children in the diverse San Diego region, including US–Mexico Border school districts and military housing school communities.

Methods

We conducted 19 interviews with parents and their young children focused on COVID-19 efforts at their child's school in English and Spanish and collected detailed field notes on masking culture from over 60 systematic observations from elementary schools across San Diego County from December 2021 to May 2022. We conducted analysis using Dedoose, including multiple rounds of coding and ongoing consensus meetings between researchers.

Results

Guided by the social ecological model (SEM), we categorized the results into the following categories: Children's Attitudes and Behaviors, Parent Belief and Influence, School Culture, and District/School Mask Mandates. Each level of the SEM influenced individual and family masking behavior. In our data, School Culture in particular differentiated schools in mask adherence and encouraged masking after state mandates ended.

Implications for School Health Policy, Practice and Equity

Masking does not need to end with mandates. Masking has been proven to reduce COVID-19 transmission, and school health policies should consider encouraging masking beyond mandates.

Conclusions

Adapting health messaging to the local context, partnering with trusted community champions, and building trust across governmental, school, and public health entities can improve the effectiveness of public health messaging.

背景:虽然在2019冠状病毒病卷土重来或另一种重大呼吸道疾病激增的情况下,不太可能恢复对口罩的强制要求,但自愿口罩仍然显示出希望。这项民族志研究旨在了解圣地亚哥不同地区(包括美墨边境学区和军事住房学校社区)父母和儿童的掩蔽决策过程。方法:我们用英语和西班牙语对父母及其幼儿进行了19次访谈,重点关注他们孩子学校的COVID-19工作,并从2021年12月至2022年5月在圣地亚哥县小学进行的60多次系统观察中收集了详细的掩蔽文化现场记录。我们使用Dedoose进行分析,包括多轮编码和研究人员之间正在进行的共识会议。结果:在社会生态模型(SEM)的指导下,我们将结果分为以下几类:儿童的态度和行为,父母的信念和影响,学校文化和地区/学校面具的要求。扫描电镜的每个层次都影响个人和家庭的掩蔽行为。在我们的数据中,学校文化特别区分了学校的口罩依从性,并鼓励在州命令结束后戴口罩。对学校卫生政策、实践和公平的影响:掩蔽不需要以命令结束。掩蔽已被证明可以减少COVID-19的传播,学校卫生政策应考虑在规定之外鼓励掩蔽。结论:根据当地情况调整卫生信息传递,与值得信赖的社区倡导者合作,并在政府、学校和公共卫生实体之间建立信任,可以提高公共卫生信息传递的有效性。

Weight stigma profoundly impacts the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of children and adolescents in larger bodies. As pivotal social environments, schools may unintentionally reinforce weight stigma via policies and practices. This paper examines three key policy strategies to mitigate weight stigma in school settings: adopting weight-neutral approaches in nutrition and physical education, implementing equitable screening and referral for eating disorders, and de-implementing body mass index (BMI) screenings. A review of existing evidence highlights the potential of these strategies to reduce stigma, promote inclusive health practices, and improve student outcomes. Weight-neutral education can minimize biases in health curricula and foster healthier perceptions of body image. Universal screening for eating disorders addresses diagnostic disparities, particularly for youth in larger bodies, who are often overlooked despite significant health risks. Removal of BMI screenings emerges as the most impactful and feasible approach, given its association with increased body dissatisfaction and limited efficacy in improving health outcomes. By implementing these evidence-based practices, schools can foster an equitable and supportive environment for all students, emphasizing holistic health over weight-centric metrics. As trusted institutions, schools have the unique capacity to lead systemic efforts to combat weight stigma and promote inclusivity across broader societal contexts.

体重耻辱感深刻地影响着儿童和青少年的心理、情感和身体健康。作为关键的社会环境,学校可能会通过政策和实践无意中加强对体重的歧视。本文探讨了减轻学校环境中体重耻辱感的三个关键政策策略:在营养和体育教育中采用体重中性方法,实施公平的饮食失调筛查和转诊,以及取消实施体重指数(BMI)筛查。对现有证据的审查强调了这些战略在减少污名、促进包容性卫生做法和改善学生成绩方面的潜力。体重中性教育可以最大限度地减少健康课程中的偏见,并培养更健康的身体形象观念。饮食失调的普遍筛查解决了诊断差异,特别是对于体型较大的年轻人,尽管存在重大健康风险,但他们往往被忽视。考虑到BMI筛查与身体不满增加和改善健康结果的有效性有限相关,取消BMI筛查成为最有效和最可行的方法。通过实施这些循证实践,学校可以为所有学生营造一个公平和支持性的环境,强调整体健康而不是以体重为中心的指标。作为值得信赖的机构,学校具有独特的能力,可以领导系统性的努力,消除体重歧视,并在更广泛的社会背景下促进包容性。
