Purpose of reviewSchool-based health centers (SBHCs) primarily serve underserved students and families through removing barriers to care. The number of SBHCs have increased dramatically with investments from state-funding and federal-funding programs, including expanded funding from the American Rescue Plan. This article reviews findings on the perceived importance of school and community partnership. It also provides a critical review of the evidence base on impact on health, mental health, and education indicators. Recent findingsRecent findings underscore the importance of SBHCs engaging the school and community to build trust while identifying and responding to needs. Engagement supports planning, implementing, and sustaining SBHCs. Studies of impact find that SBHCs increase participation in preventive and routine health and decrease emergency department utilization and hospitalization. However, additional research needs to rigorously test for effects of SBHCs on symptoms and indicators of wellbeing, especially with respect to mental health and education. SummarySBHCs increase participation of students from marginalized groups in preventive and routine care. School and community engagement are vital aspects of SBHCs, likely removing barriers related to trust. Additional rigorous evidence is needed testing efficacy of SBHCs when it comes to improving health, mental health, and education.
