Abstract
Most K-12 students will miss at least one day of school each year due to illness or injury; in 2010, six percent missed 11 days or more. School Based Health Clinics, SBHC, are provider-based health clinics located in schools, supplementing routine nursing care and complementing the role of a pediatrician while the child is in school. SBHCs aim to: • Reduce the amount of school that students miss • Provide quick and convenient care for a variety of routine and acute medical concerns Our objective was to: • Investigate community awareness and utilization of the SBHCs in the Burlington School District • Providing insight regarding how to increase engagement of students and parents with the SBHC’s and thereby reduce avoidable class absenteeism.
