Extractions: Support for Nurses Working in Oregon's K-12 Schools Researchers and clinicians report that health needs of Oregon's youth are increasing in number, complexity and severity. Increasing numbers of students in schools have health problems linked to low school achievement, poor self-esteem, and other factors which inhibit student success. More students need sophisticated mental health assessment and interventions. Many students have significant chronic, disabling, sometimes life-threatening conditions and have complex medical and treatment protocols. OHSU School of Nursing is working with local schools to promote the Public Health Model(PHM). The PHM focuses on health assessment, early intervention, health promotion, health counseling, and referral management of special health needs. These target school-wide or district-wide programs in Oregon. Another program that benifits Oregon's Schools is the School-based Health Centers, Primary Care Model (PCM). This is the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of minor acute illness and injuries. In addition with the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues.

Toward Safer Schools And Healthier Communities This report describes a program in the schools of Lincoln County, oregon, Regular classroom instruction based on k12 curricula teaches young people http://www.milbank.org/reports/990816school.html
Extractions: Foreword This report describes a program in the schools of Lincoln County, Oregon, to reduce the incidence and consequences of violence among young people. The program in Lincoln County implements the Resolving Conflict Creatively Program (RCCP), an initiative of Educators for Social Responsibility (ESR). RCCP is now used in 350 schools that serve 150,000 young people in nine states. Children who participate in RCCP increase their ability to manage emotions and resolve conflict. Research suggests that the program has had a significant positive impact on the development of children who received regular instruction (an average of 25 lessons) in the RCCP curriculum. These children saw their world in a less hostile way and were more likely to choose nonviolent ways to resolve conflict. The program was equally effective for boys and girls and for low- and high-risk children. Preliminary evidence suggests that children who received substantial instruction in the RCCP curriculum performed significantly better on academic achievement tests and were reported by their teachers as less aggressive than all other children. The most positive change occurred in children who received regular instruction over two years.
