Health Equity and Rural Education (HERE!) Clinical Trial

The school-based community health worker will support students with chronic poor attendance and their parent/guardian for a minimum of two 30-minute encounters focused on addressing social determinants needs, understanding the range/student encounter varies greatly due to the intensity of the social need(s) (e.g., crisis/noncrisis) and the number of needs being jointly addressed. The SB-CHW will build relationships across encounters and apply trauma-informed best practices.

The network of school-based health centers without school-based community health workers will receive reminders of the the existing online social services directory.
