The Link Between School Attendance and Good Health.<\/strong>\u00a0The American Academy of Pediatrics just released a policy statement regarding the negative impact that chronic student absenteeism has on children\u2019s health.\u00a0\u00a0They cite numerous ways the two are linked.\u00a0\u00a0First, evidence clearly documents that chronic absenteeism puts children at a much higher risk of dropping out of school and not graduating.\u00a0There is a significant amount of research associating poor school performance (resulting in lower education attainment) and poor adult health outcomes, including increased mortality risk and lower life expectancy.\u00a0\u00a0The act of missing school itself is also linked to increased risk behaviors, including alcohol consumption, drug use, smoking and risky sexual behavior.\u00a0\u00a0Also, children with chronic absenteeism are 3.5 times more likely to be arrested or referred to the juvenile justice system.\u00a0\u00a0The policy statement finishes with a discussion of roles the medical community can play working with schools and families to help address this problem.\u00a0\u00a0It reviews the evidence regarding possible physical and mental health interventions, including:\u00a0\u00a0infection prevention programs, school nurses, school-based health centers, mental health care, health awareness school policies and programs, parent interventions, and coordinated school health models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
