ASHA Champions School Health Data: Your Advocacy Needed!

ASHA is actively advocating to protect critical funding for adolescent and school health, with a strong focus on essential data collection initiatives like the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBS) and School Health Profiles. In a collaborative effort, ASHA has joined other school health organizations in co-signing a joint letter to Congress advocating for these vital resources. Reinforcing this, ASHA has also directly communicated with legislators, emphasizing how these national data sources are indispensable for identifying student needs, guiding effective interventions, and ensuring our schools can be places where every student learns and thrives.
