Early Access to Health Care Services through a Rural School-Based Health Center.

Terwilliger, Susan H.

Journal of School Health, v64 n7 p284-89 Sep 1994

Article examines whether school-based health centers (SBHCs) are available, affordable, community based, and culturally acceptable to the public. A literature review and examination of a rural SBHC for young children suggest that SBHCs are culturally acceptable and accessible to children and families. Ten strategies for successful SBHCs are presented. (SM)
