Research Questions
This research proposes to investigate the characteristics of effective and ineffective SBHCs, focusing on how their features relate to children’s health and wellbeing. In the first phase of the project, the research team will conduct site visits, interviews, and focus groups to examine the diverse features of SBHCs. In the second phase, the team will conduct surveys of parents and other stakeholders, as well as collect administrative data from Medicaid and schools. This aids in understanding how perceptions and features of SBHCs relate to children’s health and academic outcomes. The findings from this research project will be used by researchers, West Virginians for Affordable Health Care and their wide network of partner organizations, health care providers, and state policymakers. These partners will use the findings to improve the quality of care provided by SHBCs and, in turn, advance a culture of health in communities across West Virginia.
