摘      要：A health survey developed to profile high school students for the purpose of assisting in program planning emphasized everyday health behaviors instead of focusing on high-risk behaviors (e.g., drinking, drugs, safety, or sexuality). The questionnaire was a voluntary 20-item survey that could be completed during a 15-minute homeroom period. A total of 1,401 students completed the questionnaire. Findings were shared with students, teachers, staff, and parents. Teachers and staff members were given a prepared response sheet that addressed each of the concerns identified. They were encouraged to have discussions about these behaviors with students during the homeroom period, as time and interest allowed. Response to the survey has been very positive, and a number of changes have been incorporated into the school health program as a result of the findings. One of these changes is a teen clinic that opened in April 1999. The findings also proved very useful in facilitating awareness of student behaviors and assisted in identifying ways the school nurse could assist students in improving their health and well-being.
