Every School Healthy
The American School Health Association (ASHA) is pleased to announce the release of Every School Healthy. Every School Healthy is a special open access issue of the Journal of School Health, supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). With fourteen invited articles and two commentaries, the issue offers a comprehensive picture of the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) framework in action as a tool for equity in promoting healthy school environments for students.
The articles explore:
- the dynamics in a broad array of schools and communities that foster or stand in the way of creating healthier school environments;
- the policy levers available to promote change at the local, state and federal levels; and
- opportunities to build public and political will to improve students’ overall health and well-being in schools.
The issue can be accessed https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/17461561/2020/90/12
