School-Based Health Center (SBHC) – Student Project Descriptions
2023/24 School Year
Are you a graduate student looking for an opportunity to do a capstone, thesis, practicum or final project with real-word public health impact? We have two project opportunities with Public Health Seattle & King County that can offer great experience, a chance to apply evaluation skills, and make a difference in local public health!
BACKGROUND:
There are currently 36 comprehensive school-based health centers in King County offering medical and mental health services to over 10,000 K-12 students annually. Public Health-Seattle & King County’s School Based Partnerships Program (SBPP) issues grants to partner healthcare organizations that operate the clinics. The SBPP team has been working with the UW research team on evaluation efforts since 2021 focusing on issues of racial and educational justice in school-based health centers (SBHCs) and employing the equitable evaluation framework.
The SBPP Team in collaboration with the UW (Dr. Jenna van Draanen) has two potential student project ideas for the 2023/24 year (below). If there are other areas of interest to students beyond what is described below, interested students are encouraged to contact Erin MacDougall (emacdougall@kingcounty.gov) to propose alternative projects to discuss their alignment with this program’s work.
PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS:
Project 1: Understanding student experiences with SBHCs
It is vital to understand student experiences with care at SBHCs and what can be improved about the care they receive. Building off of a student project from 2022 that assessed the range of student satisfaction tools being used at SBHCs across King County, this project would aim to:
Specific project methods, data collection, and analysis plans would be developed in collaboration with the SBPP team and the SBHC managers. Bi-weekly meetings with the SBPP team will be held to ensure regular touch points and communication and to help with project progress.
Project 2: Understanding logistical and systemic barriers to providing equitable, relevant, and culturally responsive care in SBHCs
Equitably serving students at SBHCs requires overcoming logistical and systemic barriers, both internal and external to the SBHC. Building from two student projects completed in 2022, one on gaining understanding of the use of clinical assessments around social determinants and health; and the other focused on describing providers’ approaches to providing equitable care in SBHCs, this project will aim to:
Specific project methods, data collection, and analysis plans would be developed in collaboration with the SBPP team and the SBHC managers. Bi-weekly meetings with the SBPP team will be held to ensure regular touch points and communication and to help with project progress.
CONTACT:
For students interested in capstone, thesis, practicum, or other final project opportunities, please reach out to Erin MacDougall emacdougall@kingcounty.gov by October 1 to discuss possibilities and potential fit.
We are committed to promoting antiracism, equity, diversity, and inclusion in our research. A diverse study team comprised of team members who share these values is an essential part of this commitment, as it helps us to be as responsive as possible to our participants’ diverse identities. We define diversity broadly and intersectionally, considering aspects of identity including but not limited to race, ethnicity, culture, country of origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and ability. When you email us to let us know you are interested, please describe in 2-3 sentences what you would bring to the team related to this commitment and why you are interested in school-based health center work.
