Improving the Health of Young People is a practical, step-by-step guide to setting up a school-based health service. It is designed to assist health professionals and Primary Health Organisations who are thinking about how they could improve the health of the 12- to 18-year-olds in their population. The booklet takes a 'whole of school' approach and draws on the experience of a range of educators and health and allied professionals who are currently working in school settings around the country.
