The committee provides broad recommendations for CSHPs, with suggestions and guidelines for national, state, and local actions. The volume examines how communities can become involved, explores models for CSHPs, and identifies elements of successful programs. Topics include:
-- The history of and precedents for health programs in schools.
-- The state of the art in physical education, health education, health services, mental health and pupil services, and nutrition and food services.
-- Policies, finances, and other elements of CSHP infrastructure.
-- Research and evaluation challenges.

Schools and Health will be important to policymakers in health and education, school administrators, school physicians and nurses, health educators, social scientists, child advocates, teachers, and parents.
