42. Improving Academic Performance By Meeting Student Health Needs | Center For Heal States have made considerable progress in public education reform by developing standards, mississippi s Comprehensive School Nursing Pilot Project http://www.healthinschools.org/education.asp

Education Policy Studies Division Contact: Mark Ouellette, 202-624-5359 or mouellette@nga.org October 13, 2000 Improving Academic Performance By Meeting Student Health Needs Summary States have made considerable progress in public education reform by developing standards, assessments, and accountability systems and by improving teacher quality. States continue to build on these reforms by using multiple policy strategies to improve academic performance. For many students, test performance will over time with the implementation of new standards, assessments, and curriculum, and the introduction of better trained teachers and new teaching techniques. For other students, performance may be lower than expected because they are not prepared to learn when they arrive at school. Policymakers need to focus on eliminating barriers that affect these low-performing students' readiness to learn. Among these barriers are physical and mental health conditions that impact students' school attendance and their ability to pay attention in class, control their anger, and restrain from self-destructive impulses. To assist schools in ensuring that students come to school ready to learn, policymakers can review the burgeoning research linking student health with student achievement and design data-driven programs. They can also provide technical assistance to help schools incorporate health into their curricula and increase interagency partnerships between the health and education communities. Many of the programs profiles in this Issue Brief use these strategies to meet student health needs and improve student academic performance.

Home Search Your Guide to Quackery, Health Fraud, and Intelligent Decisions Send This Page to a Friend Questionable Organizations: An Overview Stephen Barrett, M.D. Promoters of questionable health practices often form organizations to multiply their effectiveness. How can one tell which groups are reliable and which are not? There is no sure way, but nine precautionary questions may help: 1. Are its ideas inside the scientific mainstream? Some groups admit that they were formed because their founders felt alienated from the scientific community. One group that made no secret of this was actually called the American Quack Association , whose main purposes were to provide emotional support to its members, poke fun at their critics, and stimulate positive public feelings toward unconventional practitioners. The group was founded in 1985 by Jonathan Wright, M.D., who became its president, and Roy Kupsinel, M.D., a "holistic" practitioner from Florida, who became its vice-president. It attracted about 300 members but no longer appears active. 2. Who are its leaders and advisors?
