Needs Assessment of Integrative Health Services at School-Based Health Centers.

Conclusions: Improving sleep was a central health goal for SBHC patients. The majority expressed interest in receiving information on massage, meditation and yoga from trained health professionals, and they wanted access to these modalities at their SBHCs. SBHCs are in a unique position of power in which they can bring desired, cost-effective integrative health modalities to marginalized students. Future efforts should expand provider training to support education on and delivery of these modalities and evaluation of their effectiveness at SBHCs.
