“…Each school is integrated with the health services network, and, as most health determinants 3 , reflects different social, economic, and environmental conditions of its surroundings and their occupants. These different conditions are usually studied in terms of social inequalities, which, translated for the country’s internal geographic strata, are presented as regional inequalities 16 , 17 . Different possibilities of access to goods and services, different maintenance conditions and equipment supply of the schools may determine distinct conditions and diverging possibilities of guaranteeing the quality of the service provided.…”

“…Elements of these dimensions can be found in existing environmental assessment instruments 12 , 21 , 25 , such as the WHO’s Global School-Based Student Health Survey (GSHS), including a specific module for environmental evaluation, answered by school representatives 20 , 23 , 26 .

OBJECTIVE Evaluate the school environments to which ninth-year students are exposed in Brazil and in the five regions of the country according to health promotion guidelines.METHODS Cross-sectional study from 2012, with a representative sample of Brazil and its macroregions. We interviewed ninth-year schoolchildren and managers of public and private schools. We proposed a score of health promotion in the school environment (EPSAE) and estimated the distribution of school members according to this score. Crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) were used, by ordinal regression, to determine the schoolchildren and schools with higher scores, according to the independent variables.RESULTS A student is more likely to attend a school with a higher EPSAE in the South (OR = 2.80; 95%CI 2.67–2.93) if the school is private (OR = 4.52; 95%CI 4.25–4.81) and located in a state capital, as well as if the student is 15 years of age or older, has a paid job, or has parents with higher education.CONCLUSIONS The inequalities among the country’s regions and schools are significant, demonstrating the need for resources and actions that promote greater equity.
