“…Although some districts were able to deliver school meals, school-based health care is a primary source of health care for many children and has left some chronic conditions unchecked during the pandemic. 10 Many families report that the stress of the pandemic has led to a poorer diet in children with an increase in the consumption of sweet and fried foods. 11,12 Shelter at home orders and online education have led to fewer exercise opportunities.…”

BACKGROUNDThe transition to an online education during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may bring about adverse educational changes and adverse health consequences for children and young adult learners in grade school, middle school, high school, college, and professional schools. The effects may differ by age, maturity, and socioeconomic class. At this time, we have few data on outcomes, but many oversight organizations have tried to establish guidelines, expressed concerns, and extrapolated from previous experiences. GENERAL EDUCATIONAL LOSSES AND DISPARITIESMany researchers are examining how the new environment affects learners' mental, physical, and social health to help compensate for any losses incurred by this pandemic and to better prepare for future pandemics. There is a paucity of data at

“…Therefore, efforts to address loneliness and stress are needed. Such efforts may include adjusting one's mindset regarding situational control (Milman et al, 2020), mindfulness training (Yuan, 2021), increased access to counseling through one's school (Anderson et al, 2020), or increasing perceptions of social support (Saltzman et al, 2020).…”

As the world continues to face uncertainty due to COVID-19, there is concern for adolescent wellbeing as they attempt to cope with changes to their education and social interactions. Considering the trade-offs between physical distancing and virtual education versus in-person instruction may be particularly pertinent to understanding adolescent loneliness and worries surrounding COVID-19 and their academics. Adolescents (N = 1,708; age M = 12.42, SD = 2.40; 53.3% girls and 46.7% boys) from the United States self-reported their perceptions of social support, COVID-19 attitudes, and indicators of wellbeing (i.e., loneliness, COVID-19 stress, academic worry) in an online cross-sectional survey between November 30, 2020 to December 21, 2020. Higher levels of social support and attitudes of lower COVID-19 concern were associated with lower levels of loneliness, COVID-19 stress, and academic worries. Adolescents receiving greater virtual instruction were more worried about their academics compared to those receiving greater in-person instruction. A moderation effect between loneliness and instruction type revealed that the effect of social support was stronger for those receiving greater virtual instruction. Despite the quick and dramatic change to one's education, adolescents were relatively unaffected by the type of instruction they had recently received. Instead, perceived social support and their attitudes toward COVID-19 were more strongly related to their wellbeing.

“…Yet across the nation's school districts there has been a growing realization that schools offer an excellent opportunity to address many of the inherent inequities present in the United States. One intervention that has been shown to hold great promise is the provision of health‐care services (Anderson et al, 2020 ; Keeton et al, 2012 ; Soleimanpour, 2020 ). Yet while many schools have a school nurse, these medical providers are often severely limited legally in the services they can provide.…”

“…Finally, not only is there evidence that care provided by SBHCs achieves high levels of satisfaction from students (Charette et al, 2019 ; O'Leary et al, 2014 ; Silberberg & Cantor, 2008 ; Zarate et al, 2020 ), but that it is also highly cost‐effective (Fisher et al, 2019 ) and offers large social benefits (Ran et al, 2016 ). Given this body of knowledge, SBHCs may be particularly helpful during the ongoing pandemic as well as during the long‐term recovery (Anderson et al, 2020 ; Hoffman & Miller, 2020 ; Naff et al, 2020 ).…”

The ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic has posed tremendous challenges for economies and individuals around the world. At the same time, it has also laid bare the blatant and growing inequities that many individuals, particularly children, are confronted with on a daily basis. With communities in lockdowns and schools going virtual in many parts of the United States, the important role that schools and school‐based services play in the lives of many children have gained new attention. Nonetheless, only 3% of American schools have school‐based health centers on campus, and they remain relegated to the fringes of both health care and education. One key limitation has been the lack of appropriately trained health‐care professionals. Over the past 2 years, we have interviewed dozens of individuals about their experiences in school‐based health centers. Based on this study, we explore what it means for a health‐care professional to work in school‐based health care and how it differs from more traditional health‐care settings. Our analysis particularly focuses on training and education, work environments, and their unique demands that come from being embedded within the educational setting. We conclude by addressing the important role that governmental policies could play in augmenting this crucial workforce.
