The National Assembly on School-Based Health Care's
(NASBHC) 2007-2008 Census is the 11th request for data
from school-based health centers (SBHCs) since 1986. The
Census: (1) provides a better understanding of the role
of SBHCs in meeting the needs of underserved children and
adolescents; (2) collects relevant trend data on
demographics, staffing, operations, prevention
activities, clinical services, and policies; and (3)
creates a national database of programs. Data for the
2007-2008 Census were collected from October 2008 through
October 2009. The 2007-2008 Census identified 1,909
clinics and programs connected with schools nationwide,
including: (1) School-based programs: Partnerships
between schools and community health organizations that
deliver health care to students within a fixed site on a
school campus; (2) Mobile programs: Programs without a
fixed site that rotate a health care team through a
number of schools; and (3) School-linked programs: Health
care programs that are formally or informally linked with
schools to coordinate and promote health care for
students on campus; clinical services are not provided on
the school site. These programs (n=86) were not included
in this report. Sixty-four percent (n=1226) of known
programs responded to the survey. Efforts were made to
confirm that health centers that did not complete a
survey were open during the 2007-08 school year. With a
few exceptions, the analysis in this report includes
programs that provide, at a minimum, primary care
services (n=1096). However, all programs (n=1226)--
including those that do not provide primary care services-
-are included in the mental health and health
promotion/prevention sections of this report. [Additional
funding for this paper was provided by the Office of
Special Populations.]
