Summary and Discussion
The 2011 Santa Cruz County School Health Profile utilized the CDC 2010 survey The SCC report is a (very) abbreviated replica of the CDC 2010 report The SCC report contains SCC / AZ / US data for the Principal survey only, and only
presents Health Teacher survey results to questions to which all 10 schools responded.
Profile results may be used to guide school / community partners in identifying priorities
The survey itself can be used as an educational tool, as it addresses best practices in school health
If conducted again, schools may want some technical assistance with interpretation of questions, and collaboration with other teachers on finding accurate responses.
The definition of “Lead Health Education Teacher” may lead schools to think the survey is not appropriate for their school.
That some schools were K-8, with only 2 ‘adolescent’ grade levels may explain poorer results for some topic (sensitive) areas
