Examine school-based health clinics and the political
considerations and strategies that can help them succeed!The
Politics of Youth, Sex, and Health Care in American Schools reveals
the history and political dynamics involved in building and
sustaining an important innovation in the way health care services
are delivered to America's youth: the school-based health clinic.
These clinics provide vital health services--including crucial yet
controversial reproductive services--to youth. In addition to
analyzing the nature and extent of the political barriers facing
school-based clinics, this vital book describes the strategies that
have proven most effective in overcoming them.This essential book
begins with an overview of the existing literature on the history
and provision of health care for youth. Then it presents the
results of a study that utilized a two-pronged approach: a
nationwide survey of clinic administrators (supplemented with
aggregate data) and intensive case studies of five representative
locales. By combining the quantitative data from the national
survey with the more qualitative information gleaned from the case
study field work, The Politics of Youth, Sex, and Health Care in
American Schools can deliver broad yet accurate generalizations as
well as detailed interpretation of the authors'findings.This
informative and insightful volume explores: the ways that
school-based health clinics (SBHCs) have evolved, confronted
opposition, and grown day-to-day issues that SBHCs face, including
inadequate funding, lack of parental involvement, unsupportive
teachers and schools, staffing/training issues, cultural issues,
and more sources of opposition to SBHCs, including fundamentalist
Protestants, Black Evangelicals, Catholics, and conservative parent
groups ways to establish successful school health care reforms
issues and recommendations for SBHCs in the future To date, there
have been very few empirical studies of the politics of school
health or of the provision of sexuality-related health services for
youth. The greatest depth and breadth of information you can find
on the subject is here, in The Politics of Youth, Sex, and Health
Care in American Schools.
