註釋Following Youth'12, (a survey of 8500 students in a random sample of 125 secondary schools), the authors surveyed the health services in the same schools. The results reveal considerable variability in the provision of health services in schools. A significant proportion (12 per cent) reported no health services beyond the minimum requirement of first aid provision. The other 88 per cent of schools reported some level of health service. The results suggested that high quality school health services (on-site staff well trained in youth health, with sufficient time to work with students and to perform tasks like routine health assessments) do have a positive impact on student health and wellbeing outcomes in areas such as depression, suicide risk, sexual health, alcohol misuse and school engagement. In addition, the authors found that high quality school health services lessen the use of hospital accident and emergency departments by students. This reduced hospital accident and emergency use occurred especially where the health services had sufficient nursing time and performed routine comprehensive health assessments.
