The Politics of Youth, Sex, and Health Care in American Schools (Haworth Health and Social Policy) (Haworth Health and Social Policy)
by James W. Button and Barbara Ann, Ph.D. Rienzo
Button and Rienzo (political science and health science education, respectively; both, U. of Florida) examine the history and political dynamics of school-based health clinics, analyze the nature and extent of political barriers facing them, and describe strategies for overcoming these barriers. The results of a nationwide survey of clinic administrators and case studies of five representative locales are presented, highlighting day-to-day issues such as inadequate funding, lack of parental involvement, and opposition to birth control information and services from conservative groups.
