Résumé
Child health screenings are a critical, but often overlooked, aspect of children's medical care. School-community partnerships to conduct screenings and ensure that diagnostic follow-up and treatment occur can help achieve optimal child health outcomes. Such partnerships also serve to mitigate the impact of social determinants of health on children's well-being, address health disparities, and promote health equity. This article reviews four essential childhood health screenings-vision, hearing, dental, and mental health-and discusses how schools and community partners can collaborate to offer these screenings.
