What Works III: Focus on School Health in Urban Communities. 1995 CityMatCHSurvey of Urban Maternal and Child Health Programs

摘要

Maternal and child health programs in city and county health departmentsnationwide are key players in the development, assurance, monitoring and assessment of health-related services for urban children and their families. Their specific roles and efforts in school health at the local level is less well known. Education and health are natural partners at the local level; this partnership is critical in America's cities. This document builds upon a basic CityMatCH premise that urban health departments have much to teach and learn from each other. The CityMatCH strategy is to provide a timely, efficient mechanism for communication and collaboration across America's cities to promote the exchange of information about what works, and doesn't, and why.
