- Abstract
School-based health centers are critical resources for providing and coordinating health and medical services for children and adolescents. As such, they are an increasingly important component in a strategy to meet the comprehensive health, social, and educational needs of students and families. We show how educators and health professionals, using the language, methods and principles of continuous improvement, can collaborate effectively in addressing the specific concerns of school attendance and teen smoking.
