The Comprehensive School Health Program: Exploring an

Abstract:
This special issue of the Journal of School Health explores expansion of the traditional three-component comprehensive school health program model to eight, integrated components. The papers presented in this issue illustrate the complementary roles of school health professionals and how, as an interdisciplinary team, they can influence the health and well-being of school-age children. The eight components of the expanded school health model include: health services, health education, health environment, integrated school and community health promotion efforts, physical education, food service, counseling and psychology and programs to protect and improve the health of staff. Each component of the expanded model is presented as well as its role in relation to the comprehensive model. Articles abstracted separately.
