MASBHC

Maryland Assembly on School-Based Health Care

education + health = success

The Maryland Assembly is an advocacy organization that promotes school-based health care as a means to advance the belief that all Maryland children and youth have a basic fundamental right to access and receive comprehensive, quality health care.

School-based health care represents an essential strategy toward improving the lives of Maryland’s children and their families and optimizing their ability to become contributing members of society. School-based health care addresses the unique needs of children and youth and increases access to medical, mental, dental and/or other health related services.

MASBHC’s biggest initiatives include our participation in Hallways to Health through the School Based Health Alliance, our annual conference, and our advocacy work.

The presenters will introduce Health-E You/Salud íTu™, a web-based mobile app that young people can use before a clinic visit to better prepare them and their clinician to discuss sexual and reproductive health. Attendees learned how to implement Health-E You in their clinic and participate in an evaluation trial focused on its efficacy with males.

This webinar was supported in part/fully by the Maryland Department of Health.
