Health Report

A report sponsored by Communities In Schools focuses on the connection between physical heath-based programs and academic outcomes.

This review of research and evaluation studies seeks to identify effective school-based programs by student grade level found to improve student physical health outcomes, and where possible, academic and school outcomes. To the extent possible, this report draws upon experimental studies, the highest level of evidence available, while also drawing upon quasi-experimental studies and basic research studies to identify programming approaches.
