title: Development of a health concerns inventory for school-age children.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of the "School Age Health Concerns Inventory" developed by the authors. A national sample of students in third to sixth grades was assessed by school nurses using this instrument. Each student's responses were verified in a short interview with the school nurse. The instrument was evaluated on the basis of ease of use, language, and effectiveness in identifying students who need health services.
