Awards & Honors
- Top School Health Papers of 2010 from American School Health Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics : Members of the Physician Section of the American School Health Association (ASHA) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Council on School Health have worked together to develop a list of important school health papers published in 2010. Members nominated research and review papers they found to be important for school health physicians and then voted on their top choices. A few key new or updated policy statements were also nominated. We are publishing a summary of the top 12 research and review papers and listing all new key policy statements. The top papers for 2010 address policy and 6 components of coordinated school health: health services, mental health, physical activity, nutrition, school environmental and community involvement. The studies cover students in elementary and secondary schools and include those with chronic conditions and other special needs. http://www.aap.org/sections/schoolhealth/2010_mustreadpapers.pdf (2011)
