This paper explores the impact of school-based heath centers (SBHCs) on the substance use behaviors of low-income, inner-city African American adolescents. Researchers surveyed 2,114 9th-and 11th-grade students from seven inner-city public high schools (three with SBHCs and four without SBHCs). Of the initial 2,114 students, 598 SBHC students and 598 non-SBHC students were successfully matched using ethnicity, grade, gender, and propensity scores. The results of separate grade x gender x SBHC ANOVAs indicated significant grade x SBHC interactions (ie, such that substance use decreased in SBHC schools while increasing in non-SBHC schools) for cigarettes (p=. 05) and marijuana (p<. 001), but not for alcohol. These findings show that the SBHC intervention model is promising toward the prevention and reduction of substance use among high-risk African American adolescents and highlight the importance of accessible, holistic, and culturally appropriate health care.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
