School Health Stakeholder Survey


During the Summer and Fall of 2011, over 150 school health stakeholders answered an online survey. Survey respondents included health professionals, health researchers, parents, and school health champions. The purpose of the survey was to learn what this group thinks about the health concerns of children and about conducting research in schools.

Interviews


Between August and November of 2011 we conducted interviews with 33 people who have been involved with school health research. The purpose of the interviews was to gather information about successful school health research from a broad base of perspectives so that we can build an effective and sustainable infrastructure for health research in Seattle Schools. We talked with 14 university researchers, 7 school staff members, 10 community-based health professionals and 3 parents.
