School Health Index
A Self - Assessment and Planning Guide (SHI)
The SHI enables schools to self-assess and address their policies and programs related to:
- Physical activity and physical education
- Healthy eating
- Tobacco use prevention
- Unintentional injury and violence prevention (safety)
Designed for use at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, the SHI has already helped thousands of schools around the country to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their school health programs and policies, prioritize actions for improvement, and develop a team approach to implementing school guidelines recommendations.
It’s a user-friendly, confidential means of engaging the people who know your school best, to improve the health and well-being of your students and staff—often at little or no financial cost!
