abstract="OBJECTIVES: We examined the extent to which  schools in the United States have health-promoting policies, programs, and  facilities. METHODS: We analyzed data from the School Health Policies and  Programs Study 2000. RESULTS: We found that public schools (vs private and  Catholic schools), urban schools (vs rural and suburban schools), and schools  with larger enrollments (vs smaller schools) had more health-promoting policies,  programs, and facilities in place. On average, middle schools had 11.0 and  middle/junior and high schools had 10.4 out of a possible 18 policies, programs,  and facilities. CONCLUSIONS: Although some schools had many healthy physical  environment features, room for improvement exists. Resources are available to  help schools improve their health-promoting policies, programs, and  facilities.",
