AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine the link between the Coordinated School Health Program (CSHP) and student academic performance using data from 50 states and DC.
- The research utilized three key data sources: the School Health Policies and Programs Survey (SHPPS), the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), and the U.S. Census 2000 Profile to analyze the effects of health interventions on student achievement while accounting for poverty levels.
- Findings revealed that elements of CSHP are significantly associated with improved academic performance, indicating that states with health-promoting policies had students achieving higher scores and completing high school at greater rates.
Article Abstract
The study was conducted to determine whether there is a relationship between the Coordinated School Health Program (CSHP) and student academic performance. Data were collected from schools and the community for three reports for 50 states and the District of Columbia (DC). The School Health Policies and Programs Survey (SHPPS), the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), and the U.S. Census 2000 Profile were used to study the relationships among three parameters: (a) The intervention called a CSHP: (b) Student achievement; and (c) Rate of poverty in each state. A stepwise regression analysis was conducted, controlling for poverty using state-level data. Components of a CSHP had statistically significant relationships with academic achievement. Students in states with policies promoting students' health demonstrated higher academic scores and higher rates of high school completion.
