Abstract

The Disease Control Priorities series has increasingly addressed the health and development of school-age children and adolescents across its four editions, recognizing the growing momentum of support for national programs and a growing understanding of the underlying science and economics in this area. This chapter continues that focus by exploring how countries have adopted national school-based health and nutrition programs and providing the latest update on the value-for-money choices that policy makers can make in the context of the health
and development of school-age children and adolescents.
