Advancements in the field of school-based health have improved the overall health and mental well-being of students. With these advancements, school-based health providers must be aware of the latest clinical evidence and technologies in order to provide optimal care for their students.
The purpose of this book is to provide school-based health providers a comprehensive, “go-to” resource to access evidence-based recommendations for the assessment/screening, triage, initial stabilization and treatment, and recognition of acute and chronic conditions and disease processes often seen in students. It aims to utilize modern methods of learning for the audience to improve retention and implementation, such as algorithms, mnemonics, infographics, case studies, tables and lists, etc. Authors have been recruited, both regionally and nationally, with expertise in school-based health, and include clinical physicians, school nurses and advance practice providers.
The text is structured into ten main sections covering an array of topics, including medical conditions and disease, trauma and sports medicine, and mental/behavioral health. Each chapter is structured with a brief description of the topic, innovations within the topic/field (including current research), screening or recognition of the disease or injury, care plans for students with the disease or injury, complications associated with the disease or injury that may present in the school setting, triage based on the presentation (either to an emergency department, urgent care center, primary care physician’s office, or remain in school), and the future of each topic/field/diagnosis with respect to school-based health.
Clinical Considerations in School-based Health is innovative in that the focus is on clinical school-based health highlighting recommendations based on the evidence and research, on utilizing innovative methods of learning (algorithms, mnemonics, infographics, case studies, etc.), covering “hot topics” not often seen in other school-based health books and resources, and targeting all stakeholders in school-based health.
