- Abstract
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to develop the School Health Score Card (SHSC) and validate its psychometric properties. METHODS: The development of the SHSC questionnaire included 3 phases: item generation, construction of domains and items, and field testing with validation. To assess the instrument's reliability and validity, we recruited 15 middle schools and 15 high schools in the Republic of Korea. RESULTS: We developed the SHSC questionnaire of 158 items categorized into 5 domains: (1) Governance and Infrastructure, (2) Need Assessment, (3) Planning, (4) Health Prevention and Promotion Program, and (5) Monitoring and Feedback. All SHSC domains and subdomains demonstrated acceptable reliability with good internal consistency. Each domain and subdomain except for “Planning” was associated significantly with students' health status. Most subdomains, including school health philosophy, school policy, communication, the evaluation system, and monitoring, were significantly and negatively associated with student absence. CONCLUSIONS: The SHSC shows significant association with the overall student health and can be useful in assessing comprehensive school health programs.
