- Cheng et al discuss the domains of school determinants that impact children's physical and mental health. Children spend a considerable amount of time in schools, and, therefore, schools can play a unique and important role in shaping children's health knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and health outcomes. Studies have shown that children who enroll in poor-quality schools with fewer health resources, more violence, and a distressed school climate are more likely to set forth on a path toward worsened physical and mental health. Because racial/ethnic minority students tend to be enrolled in poor-quality schools, school determinants must be considered when working to eliminate child health disparities.
