Service statistics and observations from site visits across the country indicate that school-based clinics (SBCs) may be having an impact on several of the problems targeted in the 1990 health objectives, including unplanned pregnancy and substance abuse. At least 120 junior and senior high schools in 61 communities are currently operating or developing clinics. Growth is attributed to increasing concern about high-risk youth, especially among educators in their roles of "surrogate parents"; to disillusion with categorical interventions and a movement toward more comprehensive services; and to student, parent, school, and community approval of the new programs. This article describes the comprehensive school-based clinic model, including its history, organizational strategies, school/community partnerships, and services.

PIP: School based clinics (SBCs) are beginning to affect the problems of the 1980s that have been identified as health objectives for the 1990s. 120 junior and senior high schools in 61 communities across the US have clinics either functioning or in the process of creation. This number is growing quickly mainly because educators have become increasingly concerned about their role as "surrogate parents." However, controversy and differing opinions about the disbursement of contraceptives remains. The history, organizational strategies and funding, services, limitations and evaluation of the SBCs are discussed. In addition, the aspects of school/community partnership and health education are detailed. Approximately 30% of the 227 health objectives for the United States could be achieved through school based clinics; however, their connection to these objectives needs to be better promoted and actualized to counteract negative perceptions. SBCs can be better utilized in the areas of accident prevention and environmental safety to decrease the number of accidents and injuries among young adults.
