dc.description.abstract | Children in low-income, urban communities face significant barriers to leading a healthy lifestyle. Public health issues, such as adverse childhood experiences, food insecurity, and a lack of mental health resources consistently place toxic stress on a growing child’s mental and physical health. Making matters worse, these children and adolescents are less likely to make their pediatric primary care appointments through no fault of their own. A literature review revealed that school-based health centers provide an economically efficient model to delivering pediatric primary care. By eliminating common barriers to healthcare, like transportation issues and family work requirements, school-based health centers successfully combat public health issues and improve health outcomes, successfully establishing equity in delivering pediatric primary care. | |
