School-based health centers (SBHCs) provide vital physical and mental health services to underserved elementary students. High utilization rates indicate SBHCs can significantly improve the health and well-being of young populations.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Health
  • Public Health
  • Mental Health Services

Background:

  • School-based health centers (SBHCs) have rapidly expanded, with a significant portion serving elementary students.
  • Despite their prevalence, elementary SBHCs are underrepresented in scientific literature.
  • This study addresses the gap by analyzing healthcare utilization in an elementary SBHC.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze physical and mental primary health care utilization in a comprehensive elementary SBHC.
  • To assess the needs of an underserved Hispanic student population.
  • To understand the scope of services offered by SBHC staff.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of services rendered at an elementary SBHC during the 1995-1996 school year.

  • Examined utilization patterns for 591 elementary school students (preschool-5th grade) of predominantly Hispanic background.
  • Described physical and mental health services and diagnoses provided.

    • Main Results:

    • A total of 2443 visits were recorded, averaging 4 visits per student.
    • Two-thirds of visits were for medical care, and 33% were for mental health services.
    • Common diagnoses included acute medical issues, health maintenance, depression, and emotional disturbances.

    Conclusions:

    • High utilization rates demonstrate the critical need for SBHC services among elementary students.
    • Comprehensive, culturally-sensitive care in SBHCs shows potential to positively impact student health and well-being.
    • The findings highlight the role of SBHCs in addressing health disparities in underserved communities.
