Join this virtual opportunity hosted by the American Academy of Pediatrics Council on School Health to learn about health and educational systems partnering to address chronic school absenteeism. Educational achievement is a social determinant of health, dependent on school attendance and linked to long-term health and economic outcomes for children. Chronic absenteeism, defined as missing 10% or more of a school year, is increasing. It is an educational and health equity issue.
Leaders from Washington, DC, Delaware, and New Jersey will discuss their data-sharing programs and review the various components including the consent processes, data transmission, community engagement and interventions. They will also share an overview of the nation-wide Attendance Data Sharing Learning Collaborative, which includes over 17 jurisdictions/organizations connecting to advance data-sharing between the health and educational systems in their own communities.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the impact of school attendance on health and educational equity
- Identify opportunities to facilitate data-sharing between healthcare and school systems
- Share background on a nation-wide learning collaborative supporting shared measures and approaches to addressing school attendance
