Participatory School-Based Health Center Research
PI - Claire Brindis
University of California, San Francisco
The "School-Based Health Center (SBHC) Participatory Research" project will utilize new student and school staff participatory research methods to conduct student health research. The project builds on a five-year history of collaborative evaluation research of eight SBHCs in Alameda County. Through this participatory effort, UCSF and the SBHCs have developed and implemented an evaluation that measures prioritized student and client health outcomes. This proposed project will increase the capacity of not only the SBHCs, but also Student Research Teams and Coordinated School Health Teams to engage in the research process to improve health programs, to disseminate findings, and to translate the findings into programmatic recommendations that can be widely disseminated. The anticipated outcomes of the project are to: 1) Improve the capacity of SBHCs, students, and schools to engage in participatory research, 2) Improve the quality and breadth of school health programs, and 3) Improve client and student health outcomes.
